Volex ForgeParts › Concentric Pipe Reducer CAD Generator

Generate a concentric pipe reducer run

A hollow transition between two pipe sizes, sharing a common centreline. Concentric reducers keep the axis straight, which suits vertical runs and most general piping; the tapered section maintains flow without an abrupt step.

What it is used for

Dimensions that matter

Large diameterThe bigger pipe size.
Small diameterThe smaller pipe size.
Wall thicknessState it explicitly; otherwise a schedule-typical wall is used.
This part class exists because a real user asked for it and the AI produced a plain cylinder instead — a silently wrong answer. It is now a proven template, verified by comparing the built volume against the analytic frustum formula.

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.
