  • Boilerplate, relatively thick, high quality sheet steel used in the construction of a boiler
  • Boilerplate (robot), fictional combat robot of the Victorian era and early 20th century, created in 2000 by artist Paul Guinan
  • Boilerplate prototype, a broadly working prototype that is constructed from cheaper or simpler materials. This was often applied to unarmoured tanks made of only soft steel, but it has also been applied to non-flyable engineering demonstrations of aircraft or spacecraft, built on simple steel frames rather than lightweight aerospace materials.
  • Boilerplate (spaceflight), non-functional craft, system, or payload which is used to test various configurations and basic size, load, and handling characteristics
