What makes our library so good?
We have been working on this collection for six years. Our software that creates the files is robust and the files are used by dozens of companies worldwide.-
Consistent thanks to software
Because we use our own software to create these models, each model has the exact same structure.
-
Stable references
Thanks to smart model properties, mates keep working even when you switch between standards.
-
All dimensions
All combinations of length, diameter and material are modeled fully according to the standard.
-
Every size its own file
Our research shows that part files with a single configuration are the most stable and work the fastest.
-
Built-in information
Every model has custom properties with information about the standard, the material, the thread and more.
-
Compatible with PDM
Our files can be used with PDM and other version control systems without any problems.
-
One-time investment
Purchase all models once and make unlimited use of them within your company, forever.

CAD Booster service
Are you missing a standard in the list? That we can add it. Did you find an error somewhere? Then we fix it.
DEMCON has over 100 engineers that make use of the 3D models from CAD Booster and the response has been great. The hodgepodge library from the past is replaced by a consistent set of models, which saves us time and money.

ISO + NEN + DIN
The standard is leading
We went through the standards so you don't have to. We even work with NEN directly.
No ANSI fasteners yet, though.
Time is money
And doing it yourself is more expensive
Make use of the 600+ hours we spent on making software to create these models. That way you get to do what you do best, instead of reinventing the wheel.
Easily shareable
No more licensing troubles
Our 3D models will never be the cause of errors in your assembly. Sharing these models with customers and suppliers will also go without a hitch.
Automatic mates
Less clicking, fewer errors
Drag a bolt into your assembly and mates will be added automatically. You can even switch it out for another type and the mates will still not break.
Use our great defaults
Please check out the free samples. If you like our defaults, you can purchase the downloads directly. Get in touch for a bundle deal.Our library has defaults that are entirely focused on the engineer. Check out the brochure for a list of ISO and DIN standards.
We sell our fasteners per standard, for example ISO 4014. When you purchase a type/standard, you receive a zip file with all diameter-length combinations according to that standard. You get a copy for each common material + coating.
We charge €50 per standard for bolts, pins and set screws and €30 per standard for nuts, washers and keys.
Or customize your fasteners
We also offer custom exports, made just for your company. We determine your requirements, customize our software and create an export just for you.We have great defaults, as you can see from our sample files. But if you want to make the files fit perfectly in your current workflow, you may need a custom export.
In that case, we modify our software and create the files just for your company. You can have different filenames, add custom properties, change the colors and more.
We charge €90 per standard for bolts, pins and set screws and €50 per standard for nuts, washers and keys.
3D models + Lightning = magic
Lightning is the add-in that makes working with fasteners fun again.We were tired of scrolling through endless lists of fasteners in SOLIDWORKS, so we built Lightning. Lightning makes it easy to add, edit and replace fasteners.
Just open the filter, pick a type, size and material, then drag the file into your assembly. Lightning will add a washer and/or a pattern for you.
