Design Roll Cages Faster Than Ever

From 3D sketch to cut-ready G-code. Import your 3D scan, sketch tube paths, cope joints automatically, and post the nest for your tube laser or rotary plasma.

3D SKETCH
Where this stands

Tube Shop is pre-1.0. The Fusion 360 add-in ships first and the standalone Windows desktop app follows it. Windows only — it is the only platform we test on.

Everything you need to build cages

Professional tube bending workflow, from first sketch to cut-ready G-code.

3D Sketch Studio

Sketch tubes freehand in 3D. Corners auto-bend on the real CLR of the die you picked, so what is on screen is a tube you can make.

Sketch tube · Lines→tube · Pick points

Import 3D Scans

Load STL, OBJ, PLY, glTF or 3MF reference scans. Sketch points snap onto the scan surface — tubes cope to each other, never to dead geometry.

STL · OBJ · PLY · glTF · 3MF

Auto-Cope Joints

Select intersecting tubes. Every branch end is trimmed and normalized for a 2-axis rotary cut automatically.

Nest Onto Your Sticks

Parts pack onto sticks with kerf, the chuck clamp zone and your stick length modeled. See utilisation and drop per stick with a visual layout.

Kerf · Chuck zone · Drop per stick

G-code Export

Output nested G-code, STEP, IGES, DXF, cope wrap PDFs and bend sheets directly from the job — posted for your tube laser or rotary plasma.

Depot Sync

Push and pull numbered, immutable revisions through the Tube Depot. The desktop app and the Fusion add-in stay on the same revision.

Workflow

From concept to cut in 4 steps

1

Import Scan

Load your vehicle 3D scan as reference geometry. STL, OBJ, PLY, glTF and 3MF supported.

2

Sketch Tubes

Draw tube paths in 3D against the scan. Snap to the scan surface for precision.

3

Cope & Nest

Auto-cope all the joints, then nest onto your sticks with kerf and the chuck zone modeled.

4

Export & Cut

Write the G-code, bend sheets and wrap templates. Weld-ready output for the whole job.

2-Axis
Rotary cut support
10
Output files per job

Two front ends. One license.

The Fusion 360 add-in and the standalone Windows Desktop app — same pipeline, same numbers, one license covers both.

Refunds: It activates and runs on your machine or you get your money back — 30 days to report it. A change of mind is not a refund. Refund policy

You have already bought the bender, the saw and the machine this posts to. This is the cheapest thing in that line, and it is the one that decides whether the other three cut the right length.

Stock is the other half. A blank cut to the wrong developed length is scrap, and a cope opened up by eye is a joint you fill with weld.
