FreeCAD Overview

FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters.

FreeCAD allows you to sketch geometry-constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects. It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 3D models to create high-quality production-ready drawings.

Its motion simulation capabilities are comparable to the best and can provide accurate answers to engineers and scientists in diverse fields. Educators, students, and new engineers will find it ideal for teaching and learning geometry, kinematics, dynamics, vibrations, mechanisms, linkages, cams, machine design, and physics.

FreeCAD equips you with all the right tools for your needs. You get modern Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools, experimental CFD, BIM, Geodata workbenches, a Path workbench, a robot simulation module to study robot movements, and many more features. This tool is a Swiss Army knife of general-purpose engineering toolkits.
