What's new
Everything BoltGen can do — and what's coming.
BoltGen turns plain-language descriptions into precision fastener designs you can preview in 3D, verify on a dimensioned blueprint, and export for 3D printing or CNC machining.
AI Design Studio
Describe the fastener you need in plain language — the assistant turns it into full engineering parameters you can fine-tune with sliders and dropdowns.
3D Viewer
Inspect every design as an interactive 3D model: real cut-in drive sockets, helical threads, tapered points, coatings and assembly previews.
2D Blueprints
Live dimensioned cross-sections that update as you edit — head, thread, point, seal and anchor geometry with real scale and measurements.
Production Exports
Download watertight .STL for 3D printing, .STEP solids for CAD and CNC, and PDF datasheets with the full spec sheet.
Fastener Library
Socket caps, hex bolts, countersunk, set and thumb screws, nuts, washers, threaded rods and U-bolts — plus a growing template gallery.
Specialty Points
Self-drilling points with reaming wings, gimlet and Type 17 tips, dog points, twist-drill sections rated by steel thickness.
Timber & Anchor Modules
Construction-screw features (milling sections, double threads, V-notches) and cast-in, expansion, chemical and weld-plate anchors.
Materials & Finishes
Stainless, titanium, aluminium, brass; zinc, galv, black oxide and more; optional head seals and RAL top coats with service-class checks.

- Per-design CNC report added to the PDF datasheet
U-bolt thread rendering
- Thread bands now sit flush on the rod — no gap between the helix and the rod surface
- Threads stay visible on full-length and saddle-end zones
Dual-thread U-bolts
- Second thread zone with its own pitch at the saddle end of both legs
- Plain gap between zones, shown in 3D and labelled on the blueprint
