SOLIDWORKS Toolbox

SOLIDWORKS Toolbox is an add-on that provides a huge component library containing more than a million standard hardware items. It is included as part of the SOLIDWORKS Design Professional and Premium licences.

Hardware items come ready for use, and can also be customised to company specific requirements. Simply drag and drop items into your assembly, reducing design time and helping complete Bill of Materials.

Benefits of SOLIDWORKS Toolbox

Huge Library of Standard Components

Toolbox gives instant access to fasteners, bearings, structural shapes and hundreds of built‑in standards, saving time on repetitive modelling.

Automatic Smart Fasteners

Automatically detect hole features and populate assemblies with the correct bolts, washers and nuts, dramatically speeding up hardware placement.

Fully Customisable Parts

You can tailor dimensions, materials and properties to match internal company standards, ensuring consistent, repeatable designs.

Integrated Standards Compliance

Toolbox supports global standards (ISO, ANSI, DIN and more), helping engineers design with confidence and consistency across teams.

Reduced Errors and Re‑Work

Using pre‑verified, standardised components minimises modelling mistakes and improves BOM accuracy.

Faster Assembly Creation

With drag‑and‑drop placement, automatic mates and preconfigured hardware, Toolbox streamlines assembly workflows and boosts overall design productivity.
