Volex ForgeParts › L-Bracket CAD Generator (STEP, STL, DXF)

Generate an L-shaped bracket CAD file

An L-bracket (angle bracket) joins two surfaces at 90°. It is the workhorse of mechanical mounting: one leg bolts to a base, the other carries the load. Loaded at the free end it behaves as a cantilever, so thickness and the fillet at the corner drive its strength.

What it is used for

Dimensions that matter

Leg lengthsThe two arm lengths. Longer legs give more bolt spacing but more bending moment.
ThicknessThe dominant strength factor — stiffness rises with the cube of thickness.
Hole size and countMatch your fastener; M6 clearance is 6.6 mm.
If the bracket carries real load, run the built-in FEA: set the load, pick the held face, and you get safety factor, von Mises stress and deflection cross-checked against beam theory. A gusset dramatically stiffens a bracket that deflects too much.

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.
