Generate a plate with a bolt hole pattern
A flat plate with fixing holes on a defined rectangular pattern. The pattern (pitch) is what matters — it must match the mating part's holes exactly, so stating it explicitly is the reliable way to get a correct part.
What it is used for
- Adapter and mounting plates
- Motor and gearbox face plates
- Base plates for frames and fixtures
- Laser-cut flat components
Dimensions that matter
| Plate size | Length × width × thickness. |
| Bolt pattern | Centre-to-centre spacing, e.g. 100 × 60 mm. |
| Hole size | Use clearance sizes: M5 → 5.5 mm, M6 → 6.6 mm, M8 → 9 mm. |
What you get
A real solid model you can rotate and measure, plus downloadable STEP (machining and CAD), STL and 3MF (3D printing) and DXF (laser and waterjet) files. Optional built-in analysis covers stress (FEA), thermal, buckling, cost and manufacturability.
Before you see it, the built geometry is measured against the dimensions you stated, checked as a valid watertight solid, and — for assemblies — checked for interference. These are geometry and physics checks; they do not confirm the shape matches what you pictured, so review the 3D view or 2D drawing before relying on the part.
Previewing is free. Downloading is £2.99 per part, or unlimited on Pro (£29/month, £290/year).

Common questions
What file formats do I get?
STEP, STL, 3MF and DXF — the formats CNC shops, laser cutters and 3D printers accept.
Can I change the dimensions afterwards?
Yes. Edit the numbers directly, or describe the change in plain English. Every edit is rebuilt and re-checked.
Do I need CAD experience?
No. Describe the part and its sizes in millimetres.
Is it free to try?
Yes — describing a part and viewing the 3D preview costs nothing.
