- FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler. Parametric modeling - allows you to easily modify your design by going back into - your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD is - open source (LGPL license) and completely modular, allowing - for very advanced extension and customization. + 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. It is is designed to fit a + wide range of uses including product design, mechanical + engineering, architecture and 3D printing.

- FreeCAD is multiplatfom, and reads and writes many open - file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL and others. + 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. it is a multiplatfom + (Windows, Mac and Linux), highly customizable using the + Python language. It reads and writes to many open file + formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, + DAE and many others, making it possible to seamlessly + integrate it into your workflow. +

+

+ FreeCAD includes a modern Finite Element Analysis (FEA) + tools, experimental CFD, BIM, Geodata workbenches, + a Path (CNC) workbench, a robot simulation module that + allows you to study robot movements and many more, and + a rich collection of plugins and macros installable + directly from within the application.
