Volex Labs / Forge / Standoff & spacer generator — text to CAD.

Standoff & spacer generator — text to CAD.

Describe the standoff or spacer — length, outer form (hex or round), and the thread or clearance bore — and Volex Forge returns a print-ready STL or a STEP for machining.

Threads and bores are sized to standard fasteners, so an M3 standoff takes an M3 screw without chasing the hole.

Frequently asked

Male–female or female–female?
Either — name the end configuration and Forge builds the matching threaded or plain ends.
Will an M3 screw fit?
Yes, threads are cut to the standard M-series pitch and diameter, so standard screws thread straight in.
Hex or round?
Both are supported; hex if you want to grip it with a spanner, round for a cleaner look.
Cost?
