FastenMate Pro – Smart Fastener Assembly for Plates and More
FastenMate Pro revolutionizes how design teams handle fastener assemblies by automating hardware placement, validation, and documentation across multiple CAD platforms.
Traditionally, selecting and assembling correct fasteners for multi-plate configurations involves tedious manual work, catalog lookup, and documentation. FastenMate Pro eliminates all that offering standards-based, automated fastener population for 2-plate, 3-plate, and multi-plate assemblies with instant Excel and BOM generation.
Native to Siemens NX, Solid Edge, and Autodesk Inventor, the tool ensures accurate, compliant, and fully documented assemblies that meet both DIN/ISO standards and custom company specifications. It’s adaptable, efficient, and scalable for enterprises managing large mechanical design libraries.
