Generate a gusseted L-bracket CAD file

A gusseted bracket is an L-bracket with a triangular web across the inside corner. The gusset carries the bending load in tension and compression instead of relying on the corner alone, which greatly increases stiffness for very little extra material.

What it is used for

Dimensions that matter

Leg lengthsSame as a plain L-bracket.
ThicknessApplies to both legs and the gusset.
Hole size and countFastener clearance holes per leg.
Choose a gusset when a plain bracket deflects too much or the corner is the failure point. Run FEA on both and compare safety factors — the gusseted version is typically several times stiffer for a small mass increase.

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.
