Structural frames, weld beads, base plates, stock-bar planning, pipe routing and CNC bend data — the SolidWorks Weldments and Routing workflows, rebuilt for Fusion, with the cut lists and shop files the fabricator actually needs.
Products
All three run inside Fusion 360 on Windows and macOS, store their data in your document, rebuild when the design changes, and share one idea: the model should already contain what the shop needs.
Frames, joints and cut lists
Build steel and aluminium frames from centerline sketches with SolidWorks-style joint rules, add gussets, end caps and self-fixturing tab/slot joints, and export cut sheets.
Everything in Standard, plus the shop side
Weld beads with a weld schedule and cost, bolted base plates, a stock-bar optimizer, flat DXF of every plate, and a cut list that appears in your Fusion drawings.
Route, fit, bend, notch, weld
Route pipes and tubes along 3D sketches, insert standard or vendor fittings, auto-route around obstacles, and export CNC bend tables, developed lengths, fishmouth notch templates and a per-joint weld list in dia-inch with cost.
Why these add-ins
Miters, butts and copes are cut with BRep booleans and every build is checked: a joint that did not close is reported, never hidden.
Cut sheets with balloons, long / short points and saw angles; bend tables; DXF plates; stock plans. Numbers checked against hand formulas.
Change a frame and its joints, plates, welds and tubes are rebuilt on the new bodies. Items you deleted stay deleted.
Built and supported by one engineer. Reports go to the person who fixes them; most features started as someone’s email.
Buying and licensing
Every add-in starts a free 3-day trial the first time you run it. Purchases go through the Autodesk App Store and unlock through your Autodesk sign-in — no keys to type. Activation codes are available for teams and direct licensing. Steel Frame & Weldments Pro and Tube & Pipe Routing are in early access: write for a build and a launch-price license.
Yes. Steel Frame & Weldments Pro opens files made with Standard. Tube & Pipe Routing shares the engine and conventions, so a frame and its pipework can live in one design.
Both. Same features, same license.
Weldments ships a local MCP server so an approved AI client can read the design and create frames, plates, welds, stock plans and DXFs — loopback only, licensed use only.
