Tools

Strongback Forge

A parametric generator for damage-control strongbacks. Enter the measurements of an actual pipe and it produces a watertight STL or 3MF ready to slice and print.

  • Straight pipe, bends (outside or inside of the bend), and full 360° sleeves
  • Weld-bead relief for butt and seam welds
  • Band-strap channels, edge ramps, gasket pockets and closed-loop end seals
  • Live 3D preview — runs entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded

Reference to any specific commercial product, process, or service does not constitute or imply endorsement or recommendation.

Software — experimentation only, use at your own risk

All software, models, and files offered here are provided for experimentation and educational purposes only, on an “AS IS” basis, without warranty of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Use at your own risk. The author makes no representation that any output is accurate, complete, or fit for any purpose, and accepts no liability for any loss, damage, injury, or expense arising from its use. You are solely responsible for verifying any result before relying on it.

Specific caution on printed parts

Anything produced by the tools on this site is an experimental or training aid. A 3D-printed part is not an approved repair component. Printed plastics have limited strength and temperature capability, and material behaviour varies with printer, settings, and orientation.

Do not install a printed part on any pressurised, energised, hot, or safety-related system. Have any such application reviewed and approved through the appropriate engineering authority first.
