Overview

The BOLTS widget and a bearing from BOLTS

The aim of BOLTS is to build a free and open-source standard parts library for CAD applications. It does so by providing a common database that can be utilized by many different CAD applications, and leveraging the parametric power of FreeCAD to create many different variatiants and sizes of a part.

BOLTS for FreeCAD provides a widget that allows to insert parts into the active document. Sizes and variants of a part can be selected in the widget, and the part is given a descriptive label.

More information about BOLTS can be found on its webpage.

The webpage also provides a list of all the parts that BOLTS currently includes, including drawings and tables with dimensions.

How to use

There are detailed instruction in the Documentation section of the webpage:


Contribute

A library of parts that is useful for a broad range of people can only be realised as a community effort. There are many possibilities to contribute to BOLTS in a number of different ways.
