Description
Want to learn 3D modeling for mechanical parts and 3D printing but can't afford SolidWorks? FreeCAD is its free open-source parametric CAD alternative—built on parametric modeling, so changing one dimension updates the whole model; it spans part design, assembly, drafting, finite-element analysis, architecture and more workbenches. Full-featured with an active community, a free pick for engineers, makers and 3D-printing fans.
Parametric modeling: change a dimension and the model updates, fully traceable.
Many workbenches: part design, assembly, drafting, FEA, architecture and more.
3D printing: export STL to prepare models for printing.
Open and free: cross-platform with rich plugins and community.
