Prefacio

FreeCAD is a parametric (history based) open source CAD/CAM/CAE software which finds its uses in various fields of designing. The software has a modular structure which allows to plugin extensions (modules) to add functionality to the core application. An extension can be as complex as a whole new application programmed in C++ or as simple as a Python script or self-recorded macro. You have complete access to almost any part of FreeCAD from the built-in Python interpreter, macros or external scripts, be it geometry creation and transformation, the 2D or 3D representation of that geometry (scenograph) or even the FreeCAD interface. The software allows import/export to standard formats such as STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL, DXF, SVG, DAE, IFC or OFF, NASTRAN, VRML in addition to FreeCAD’s native FCStd file format. FreeCAD’s installer allows flexible installations on Windows systems. Packages for Ubuntu systems are also available and updated regularly. There is a huge library of external workbenches available for FreeCAD on web. Yoiu can download free copy of software from https[//www.freecadweb.org/ web link.
