Steel frame, weld and pipe routing add-ins for Fusion 360

Steel Frame & Weldments Pro

Tube folding, welds and frame analysis in Fusion

V-notch and fold a connected run from one tube, then export the straight blank. Model welds, analyse frames and prepare schedules, cost estimates, stock plans and fabrication files in the same Fusion project.

• V-Notch & Fold: multi-direction tube folds, tab/slot, holes and lettering in the unfolded STEP
• Fillet and groove welds, automatic groove measurement
• Frame Check and Frame Studies: load cases, combinations, design versions

Build editable pipework from sketches or XYZ/LRA tables, add valves with mating flanges and prepare shop PDFs, STEP models and stock cutting plans in a revisioned fabrication package.

• 851 stock sizes in 44 families
• Editable routes, valve mating flanges and supports
• XYZ/LRA input and imported STEP tube recognition

Sheet Metal & Press Brake

Bend sheets for the press brake, from the Fusion flat

Reads the Fusion flat pattern of a sheet-metal part and plans it for your press brake: bend order, back-gauge X and handling for every hit, the punch and die station from your sectioned tools, tool, force, section and 3D collision checks, and a bend sheet PDF, bend-program CSV and layered flat DXF. Bend rules come from your own dies and test bends. Forming tools add louvers, knockouts, beads and more, checked against the tool makers’ limits, with a punch-press plan checked hit by hit and shown in 3D, and Tab & Slot joints.

• Bend order, back-gauge X and handling for every hit
• Punch and die stations from your sectioned sets
• Tool, force, section and 3D checks before the first hit

Assembly Hole Series

Bolted-joint holes through every part, linked files too

Pick the hole centres or the face of a motor or rail, the parts to go through, and the screw and how the joint ends. Each part gets the hole for its side, sized to ISO and DIN, or the cut where a cutter crosses it. Separate linked part files are changed and saved for you, one edit changes them all, and the bolt list gives every screw its length.

• One command drills every part, linked files too
• Counterbores, sunk nuts and threads sized to ISO and DIN
• Assembly Cut of any shape through several parts

Auto Backup & Export

Local backups of your Fusion cloud designs

A Fusion add-in that exports, downloads and files your cloud designs for you, instead of one by one: after each save, on a daily or weekly reminder or with Back Up Now. It works while Fusion is open, and Fusion is busy while it backs up or restores. Older versions are kept and can be restored into Fusion.

• Every design exported and filed for you, version by version
• Each save, a daily or weekly reminder, or Back Up Now
• .f3d, .f3z with linked parts, STEP, IGES, SAT, SMT, STL, 3MF

Caliper – Measure and Report

Measure in Fusion, save the values, print a report

Measure points, edges, holes, faces and bodies with dimensions that stay readable on the model, save each value to a table that is still there in every design and after a restart, and export the table to CSV or a PDF report.

• Hole to hole: centre, nearest or farthest edge
• Distances with their X, Y and Z parts in colour
• Labels that never overlap or hide behind the part
