Summary

You’ve had a brief FreeCAD tour and designed objects in it, from sketches to 3D objects with pads and pockets. You’ve seen shape binders to reuse geometry and used constraints in sketches to specify geometric relationships. You’ve used these tools to build a 3D robot design from multiple parts.

Finally, you saw how to make output drawings based on the 3D design, which you can take into a workshop with you.

In the next chapter, we will take these designs into the workshop, make parts from them, and then assemble them into a custom robot.
