FreeCAD Tips and Tricks - Beginners & Expert Guides and Tutorials

via YouTube

Overview

This course is designed to teach you a range of FreeCAD skills from image masking to pattern development, 3D collision detection and animation, kinematics, Macros and moving/rotating parts. You will learn how to trace and scale models, link and animate gears, create hollow molds and pads, build epoxy resin tables, sailboats, and mous using both Python and Logic. You will also learn how to create custom section views, model internal structures, solve Topological Naming Issue, create spring animations and simulations, how to work with Curve, Sweep and Loft tools, develop technical drawings with editable surface roughness symbols and much more.
