learn to download and install FreeCAD version 0.19 on Windows, using GitHub assets and a guided setup, with tips on matching the course version and verifying the installed version.
Learn how to reorient a sketch and transfer it between planes in FreeCAD, then use sketcher geometries to create points, lines, arcs, and circles with constraints.
Use construction mode in FreeCAD to turn lines into construction lines for precise constraints, enabling distance and angle between centers. Ensure sketches are closed to enable extrusion for 3D objects.
Learn how to apply dimensional constraints in FreeCAD's sketcher to fully constrain a 2d drawing, using origin references, lengths, distances, angles, construction lines, and parallelism.
Solved exercises section .
Used drawings are in the attached compressed file.
Freecad files used in the course are also attached.
Construct a symmetric 2D sketch in FreeCAD for exercise six, placing a central rectangle, equal diameter holes, arcs, and tangent constraints, while using dimension control and y-axis symmetry.
Practice creating a precise 2d sketch in freecad for mechanical engineers by applying trimming, constraints, parallel and equal lines, arcs and circles, and defining distances and diameters.
Develop a 2D FreeCAD sketch by building a central circle and two tangent circles, converting arcs, and applying tangency, mirroring about the origin, and symmetry constraints.
Mechanical engineers frequently use different programs for modeling different parts, assembling them, and producing technical drawings for manufacturing.
In this course , I introduce the opensource 3D CAD Design program "FreeCad" .
In this course I explain how freecad works and the differences between it and other 3d CAD programs , like solidworks .
We study in detail different methods of 2D drawing , as the first step of making 3D products .
- We focus on "Sketcher" workbench as the main 2d workbench .
- We follow the Documentation of Sketcher WB and study each feature and apply it , see its advantages and disadvantages .
* The main topics are :
- Sketcher Geometries .
- Geometric Constrains .
- Dimensional Constrains .
- Sketcher Tools (mirror , degrees of freedom , ... )
- Some Sketching Hints .
- Exercises of various types.
We finish the course by over than 10 examples of complicated 2D drawings to apply what we learned.
The solved examples are mainly focused on mechanical design, including famous design characteristics that you will most probably face in your career.
This course is essential to move forward to the next courses in the series, where we study 3D workbenches , ie : Part - Partdesign - Draft - TechDraw ... etc.
- A 30-day money back guarantee is provided by Udemy for all courses .
I Hope you find this course both informative and enjoyable , and that it becomes your gate to mastering 3D design .
looking forward to seeing you in the course !! .
