Requirements

No experience needed. You will learn everything you need to know.

Description

This course takes you from beginner to confident FreeCAD user. It's built around real engineering projects, not just theory.

You'll learn 3D modeling, assemblies, technical drawings, and practical workflows that work in the real world. The course is designed by a mechanical engineer with over 10 years of experience, and it includes practice files and hands-on examples.

Note on FreeCAD Versions

This course is built on FreeCAD 1.0 (stable release). FreeCAD is transitioning to a calendar-based versioning system (e.g., 26.3). I will update this course once the new system is fully stable. Until then, 1.0 is recommended for following along. The core tools and workflows remain consistent across versions.

If you're new to FreeCAD or coming from commercial CAD, this course gives you a clear, structured path to becoming comfortable with the software.

I have designed this course for beginner users of FreeCAD. This course content is well structured as per beginner users who have no prior experience with any 3D modeling software. This course covers all major topics of FreeCAD, like FreeCAD installation and customization, part modeling in FreeCAD, assembly in FreeCAD with A2Plus and Assembly4 Workbench, and creating manufacturing drawings in FreeCAD. In this course I have also covered essential add-ons and macros to enhance productivity while working with FreeCAD.

I believe FreeCAD have lots of potential than traditional 3D software available in the market and it is a cost-effective solution for small-scale industries to reduce their operation cost by using FreeCAD.
