Volex Labs / Forge / Mounting plate generator — text to CAD.

Mounting plate generator — text to CAD.

Describe the plate — size, thickness and the hole pattern — and Forge returns a laser-ready DXF and a STEP solid with every hole exactly on grid.

Bolt patterns, slots and cut-outs are placed to your dimensions, so the plate bolts straight onto the existing holes.

Frequently asked

Is the DXF laser-ready?
Yes — a clean 1:1 closed profile with all holes and slots in millimetres, ready to send to a laser or waterjet.
Can I match an existing hole pattern?
Yes. Give the pattern — grid, PCD or explicit coordinates — and Forge places the holes exactly.
STEP as well?
Yes, you get the STEP solid alongside the DXF for CAD or CNC.
Cost?
Free to try, from £2.99 per plate.
