Summary:
C: An open source parametric 3D CAD modeler
Description:
C: >-
<p>
FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler built to help you design real-world objects of
any size. With parametric modeling, you can easily modify your designs by adjusting parameters
in the model history. FreeCAD is suitable for a wide range of uses, from product design and
mechanical engineering to architecture and 3D printing.
</p>
<p>
The software allows you to create constrained 2D sketches, which can be used as the basis for more
complex 3D models. It includes tools to adjust dimensions, extract design details, and produce
production-ready technical drawings. FreeCAD is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and
supports various file formats like STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, and more, making it easy to
fit into existing workflows. It also supports customization through Python scripting for those
who want to automate tasks or develop custom features.
</p>
<p>
FreeCAD offers several specialized workbenches, including tools for Finite Element Analysis
(FEA), Building Information Modeling (BIM), CAM / CNC and robot movement simulation. You can expand its
capabilities with add-ons, plugins, and macros created by the FreeCAD community, which can be
installed directly from the application. This flexibility makes it a practical choice for both
professionals and hobbyists.
