FreeCAD Tutorial: Revolutions, Pipes, and Lofts for Custom Keycap Design - Part 6

Learn advanced 3D modeling techniques in this 35-minute video tutorial focusing on FreeCAD's Revolve, Pipe, and Loft tools for creating complex and organic shapes. Master the Revolve tool to generate symmetrical 3D objects by rotating 2D sketches around an axis - perfect for designing wheels and knobs. Explore the Pipe tool to sweep 2D profiles along paths, creating tubular structures and rounded surfaces while working on a custom mechanical keyboard keycap project. Discover how to use the Loft tool to design ergonomic shapes by connecting multiple cross-sectional sketches at different heights. Practice incorporating internal support structures, adjusting parametric sketches, and preparing models for 3D printing. Access accompanying project files through the provided GitHub repository and follow along with detailed demonstrations of additive and subtractive modeling techniques. Complete the hands-on learning experience by taking on the challenge of designing a custom keycap or knob using the newly acquired skills.
