FAQ
What exactly am I buying today?
Presale access: 12 months of full PPF Engine access at 50% off the launch price: $900 once, instead of $1,800/yr. You’re charged today; your year starts the day we deliver (estimated Q4 2026), not today. Until your access begins, you can get a full refund with one email.
Is this a subscription? Does it auto-renew?
At launch, PPF Engine sells in 3-month and 1-year terms. Your presale purchase is a prepaid first year. It does not auto-renew. Near the end of it you decide: renew for a year or a quarter at the going rate, or walk away. We’d rather earn the renewal.
How many computers or people can use it?
A license includes one seat. Additional seats for your shop can be purchased after launch. The presale price applies to the license you buy today.
What if it’s late, or never ships?
If we miss the window you’ll get the choice: keep waiting or take an instant full refund. The people behind this cut film for a living; the tool exists because we needed it ourselves.
Do you sell this to film manufacturers or pattern companies?
No. Licenses go to installation shops and independent installers only: not to PPF manufacturers, not to pattern-database or pattern-software vendors. And because it’s a desktop app, your scans and templates stay on your machine; nothing is uploaded to us or anyone else.
Which plotters are supported?
Export is SVG, DXF and PLT (HP-GL), developed and tested against a Graphtec FC9000. If your cutter reads any of those, you’re covered. Files are full-scale in millimetres with a 100 mm reference line so the scale is never in question.
What do I need to scan cars?
Any scanner that exports STL, OBJ or PLY. Installers use everything from phone photogrammetry to structured-light scanners. The cleanup tools are built for noisy, real-world scans.
What are the computer requirements?
A Windows or macOS desktop app. (Minimum specs confirmed before launch.)
Can I edit the templates it makes?
Yes. Illustrator-style anchor and handle editing is built in, corners round off clean automatically, and everything exports as clean vectors.
Does it handle wrapped edges and tuck?
Yes. Edge-wrap offsets with fold layers, relief cuts, and pre-stretch tools are part of the pipeline, alongside a wrinkle tester and install simulator.
Do you sell outside the US?
Yes, worldwide. Prices are in US dollars; your bank converts at card rates. Taxes (EU VAT, US sales tax where it applies) are calculated at checkout, and EU businesses can enter a VAT ID for reverse charge.
Who’s behind this?
Andify OÜ: installers and software people in Tartu, Estonia. You’ll get build notes from the actual developers, not a newsletter robot.
