Hier sind einige Downloads für verschiedene Betriebssysteme verfügbar. Beachte vor dem Herunterladen:

= Offizielle FreeCAD Installationspakete == <!-- These are ready-to-install packages for Windows (2000 & XP, and Vista), and for Debian-based Linux systems. The installer may work on older Windows platforms, but has not been tested yet. You need Windows Installer V1 on your system (msiexec.exe). See Installing on Windows for details about different installation options. Download the latest .msi file for windows systems, or the appropriate .deb file for your version of Ubuntu or Debian.

Note for linux users: The pivy python module is needed by FreeCAD from version 0.9 or above. If it is not available on your system, you must download it from here too.

Unoffiziele FreeCAD Builds
These are versions of FreeCAD built by other persons and not officially maintained by the FreeCAD team. They may include customized parts or be optimized for certain types of processors.


 * Yorik's Debian/Ubuntu amd64 builds (including amd64 Pivy package)
 * openSUSE RPM at PackMan
 * lhagan's Mac OS X Snow Leopard (32-bit Intel) build (R2943)

FreeCAD Dokumentation
The user documentation of FreeCAD is being written on this wiki site. The best way is to read it online, so you are sre to get the latest version:


 * The FreeCAD Manual

The manual can also be displayed as one big text, so you can print it or save it as a pdf file:


 * All-in-one printable version

And finally the manual can also be compiled as a qt help file, so it can be browsed offline with the Qt help viewer. This is usually made at each release and is available together with FreeCAD package on most linux software repositories and is also bundled in the windows installer. You can also grab a copy of the 0.10 version here:


 * 0.10 Manual (Qhelp file)
 * 0.10 Manual (Pdf file)

Here you can also find a copy of the OpenCasCade 5.2 docs, in a .chm file. After 5.2, the openCasCade documentation is not available as a single file anymore, but as a heavy 180Mb package. So, since there is little change, we keep this one around for convenience:

FreeCAD Quellpakete
For all other platforms you need to compile FreeCAD on your own from the Source package. You might also want to compile FreeCAD yourself if you want to optimize certain things, or customize certain parts of FreeCAD. Instructions for compiling can be found on the CompileOnWindows, CompileOnMac and CompileOnUnix pages. You can grab a zip or tar.gz file containing the latest official version here (look for the latest version for your system):


 * official FreeCAD Files repository

Alternatively, you can also download latest source code from the SVN repository. You'll get a more recent version, but it might contain bugs or even fail to compile. Instructions for accessing the SVN repository can be found here:


 * FreeCAD SVN repository

You can also download automatically a GNU tarball from the latest source code tree or any part of it by using the code browser and clicking the "Download GNU tarball" at any time. The trunk folder contains the current development version, while the branches folder contains a snapshot of all stable releases to date.


 * FreeCAD SVN browser

FreeCAD LibPack
To collect all the needed libraries to compile FreeCAD can be a time consuming task. So we deliver a convenient package for development on Windows (VS8) with all needed libraries. You can download the latest version of the libpack from


 * FreeCAD LibPack

For linux, you will normally find all necessary libraries in your software management system, so you should just read the CompileOnUnix page.

Additional modules
There are additional modules, addons of plugins for FreeCAD developed outside of the main FreeCAD development team. They are listed here but are not officially supported by the FreeCAD team.
