BoltFactory

Developer: Bolt Factory

Download Free

Blender add-on that generates bolts and nuts with configurable thread, head and drive types.

What BoltFactory does

BoltFactory makes fasteners in Blender, both bolts and nuts. A panel has a dropdown to pick the type and number fields for dimensions, with choices for thread, drive bit and head style.

A limited set of metric presets is included, though the developer advises checking them before using them in production. A Change Bolt entry in the context menu reloads the original parameters and rebuilds the mesh. Parts are produced at real-world dimensions. Mechanical modelers and product visualization artists can add convincing hardware without sculpting threads manually.
