Key benefits

  • Learn something new in an Instant! A short, fast, focused guide delivering immediate results.

Description

FreeCAD is a general purpose platform for CAD development. It can be extended to use different workbenches to solve different problems. Targeted squarely at the engineering community, FreeCAD is an open source design application built to be extended. Python, the powerful scripting language, is woven deeply into FreeCAD's DNA and gives users unprecedented power to automate and invent. "FreeCAD [How-to]" is a lean, fast tour of FreeCAD's major workbenches and design philosophy. The reader will get a hands-on introduction to several modeling techniques and learn how Python makes macro automation and design possible. FreeCAD allows users to design in a variety of ways; from drawing 2D designs as lines and circles to combining primitive solids into complex 3D shapes. Objects can even be created or modified by code you write in Python. FreeCAD even allows power users to extend the application itself with new dialogs, panels, and scripts. This book will not only show you how to get started using FreeCAD in a traditional GUI mode, but will teach you how to harness its powerful scripting language for more power.

Who is this book for?

Una sintetica guida ad un software CAD che di primo acchito ha un ostico approccio perchè poco intuitivo. Leggendola però, si impara l'assenziale per operare ed apprezzarne la potenzialità.

The book is a very good introduction to FreeCAD, describing in a concise way, through simple examples, how to use the program. It is just what it is needed to start working with the program, certainly ideal for inexperienced users. Although FreeCAD documentation is freely available in the web (and much more than what is in the book is available) the book presents FreeCAD in a very structured and concise way. I wish the authors will take this work a level up and will expand the book to become an in-depth guide to the use of FreeCAD.
