Description

Freecad software

Freecad is an open source 3D modeling software. It is free and it allows you to convert 2D projects into 3D models. The strength of Freecad is based on an advanced sketching system, with many features. This system transform sketches to life. Based on a workbench system, it is possible to navigate between several workbenches quickly, to optimize the models. Workbenches make it possible to create primitive shapes to make simple 3D models, while others are based on sketches to make complex models of incomparable precision. Freecad is one of the best free tools for working on 2D sketches, and converting them to 3D. It is also possible to work on the architecture, improve a rendering, or even manage the printing parameters.


Why to use Freecad?

- It is completely free

- It is a software with many features

- It is possible to work on parametric shapes

- It is possible to create sketches

- The sketch system is very complete

- It is possible to convert a sketch into a 3D model for printing

- Complementary workbenches can be installed to optimize designs


Training course

In this training you will learn how to use Freecad from scratch. At the end of the course, you will be able to master the features of Freecad. In this course, we will focus on different workbenches, and we will see in details the Part workbench and the Part Design workbench, but we will also see complementary features located in other workbenches. These workbenches will allow you to create all your projects in 2D and 3D. Learning the dashboard, mastering navigation, understanding tools, features, sketches, that is you will learn in this course. Many exercises are also present to put the features into practice. Thus, creations of various objects will be proposed.
