What is FreeCAD?

Open-source engineering CAD solution that helps architects create and modify designs of multiple objects for generating production-ready drawings. Designers can use FreeCAD to adjust the dimensions of a product and sketch geometry-constrained 2D shapes and drive formula-based models using an integrated spreadsheet. Using its technical drawing module, team members can generate 2D views of 3D models, perform graphical modification operations, and save files in SVG or PDF formats.

Who is FreeCAD best for?

On-premise 3D parametric modeler platform that enables architects, programmers, and teachers to make machine tools and architectural designs in 2D and 3D thereby creating production-ready drawings.
