Thank you for choosing this book! With this course, you can take your CAD skills to the next level and become a professional.
Please note: This book is the sequel to the book "FreeCAD - Design Projects" (ISBN: 9783987421020) and the basic book "FreeCAD - Step by Step" (ISBN: 9783987420924). If you are a beginner in "FreeCAD", you should start with these two books to learn all the basics first.
In this course, we will dive into creating complex assemblies, working with surfaces, threads, lettering, and will get to know other advanced features. Four complex design projects will help you refine your CAD skills and become an expert in designing with "FreeCAD".
We will start with a brief review of essential settings before jumping straight into our first design project. This course is very hands-on and therefore does not have separate theory chapters — you will gain enough theoretical knowledge while working on the projects.
As an engineer with many years of experience in CAD, my goal is to make advanced "FreeCAD" design easy to understand. Throughout the book, I use several teaching methods to ensure you gain a thorough understanding of the software and design principles.
What you can expect:
- To deepen the basics of "FreeCAD"
- Get to know new 2D and 3D features
- Handling surfaces and curves
- Creating lettering and threads
- New approaches and techniques in design
- How to create complex individual parts and assemblies
- Independent work following technical instructions / drawings
Design projects:
- Scissors with a handle,
- Hole punch with attachments,
- Computer mouse with a scroll wheel,
- Dumbbell bar with weight plates.
"FreeCAD" is open-source software and therefore available free of charge.
