FreeCAD is a parametric design software that is offered for free, even for commercial use. This book provides a general overview of the program's capabilities across a variety of topics, such as 2D design, 3D design, mechanical drafting, architectural drafting, etc.
It is certainly not exhaustive, but it provides the foundations and directions for someone who wants to delve deeper. The various topics are presented through specific examples of increasing difficulty, starting from simple two-dimensional drawings and progressing to motion in three-dimensional space.
The examples are solved step-by-step with many explanations, allowing the new designer to not only learn what to do, but also why they are doing it. The book was written for a specific version of FreeCAD; however, the working methods and examples have been carefully selected so that the presented methodology can be applied to future versions of the program.
In fact, the same methodology (2D drawing—3D object—Assembly—Object interaction—Movement) is applied in all modern parametric design programs, likely with different names for the commands, but always with the same philosophy. Therefore, using this book does not limit the new designer to using FreeCAD. On the contrary, it enables them to gain the basic knowledge of parametric design without any financial risk—since FreeCAD is free—and then expand into more advanced techniques, whether with FreeCAD or any other software.
