If you need a reliable chain links 3D model for CAD projects, 3D printing, or mechanical assemblies, this free model hosted is a great starting point. The model is available in the GrabCAD community library and includes common CAD file formats suitable for SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and other CAD software.
What you’ll get
- High-quality chain link geometry optimized for CAD use and visualization.
- Multiple file formats commonly provided by GrabCAD contributors (STEP, IGES, native CAD files and more) — ideal for editing or direct use in assemblies.
- Download instructions, license reminders, and quick tips for preparing the model for 3D printing or simulation.
How to download
- Open the model page on GrabCAD (link provided below) and sign in or create a free account if required.
- Click the Download button and choose the file format you need (STEP or native CAD recommended for editing).
- Check the model description and attached files for details about units and recommended printing settings.

Tips for 3D printing & CAD editing
- Check unit settings (mm or inches) after import to avoid scaling issues.
- For 3D printing, add small chamfers and check wall thickness; consider printing a single link as a test before a full chain print.
- If using in assemblies, use STEP or Parasolid imports for best compatibility across CAD platforms.
