Benetako mundua eraikitzeko sortua

FreeCAD mundu errealeko objektuak diseinatzeko sortutako aplikazioa da. FreeCADen egindako guztiak munduko unitateak erabiltzen ditu, bai mikroiak, kilometroak, hazbeteak edo oinak, baita unitateen konbinazioak ere. FreeCADek zehaztasun osoko eredu solidoak sortu, esportatu eta editatzeko tresnak ditu, eredu horiek gero 3D inprimaketan edo CNC makinetan erabili ahal izateko, ereduen 2D marrazkiak eta bistak sortzeko, elementu finituen analisiak eta haren antzekoak gauzatzeko edo eredu-datuak materialen kantitate edo faktura gisa esportatzeko.

Solidoetan oinarritutako geometria-kernel ahaltsua

FreeCAD features an advanced geometry engine based on Open CASCADE Technology. It supports solids, Boundary Representation (BRep) objects, and Non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS) curves and surfaces, and offers a wide range of tools to create and modify these objects, including complex Boolean operations, fillets, shape cleaning and much more.

Eginbide anitzeko ingurune parametrikoa

All FreeCAD objects are natively parametric, meaning their shape can be based on properties such as numeric values, texts, on/off buttons, or even other objects. All shape changes are recalculated on demand, recorded by an undo/redo stack, and allow to maintain a precise modelling history. Properties of one object can drive the value of properties of other objects, allowing complex, custom parametric chains that could only exist in your wildest dreams. New parametric objects are easy to code.

Python edonon

While the FreeCAD core functionality is coded in C++ for robustness and performance, large parts of the external layers, workbenches and and almost all the communication between the core and the user interface is coded in Python, a flexible, user-friendly, easy to learn programming language. From Python code, you are able to do just anything in FreeCAD, from simple one-line commands in the integrated Python console to recording macros, coding your own tools up to full custom workbenches.

Fitxategi-formatuen frenesia

FreeCAD allows you to import and export models and many other kinds of data from your models such as analyses results or quantities data to dozens of different file formats such as STEP, IGES, OBJ, STL, DWG, DXF, SVG, SHP, STL, DAE, IFC or OFF, NASTRAN, VRML, OpenSCAD CSG and many more, in addition to FreeCAD's native FCStd file format. Add-on workbenches can also add more file formats.

Murrizketetan oinarritutako 2D krokisgile parametrikoa

FreeCAD features a state-of-the-art Sketcher with integrated constraint-solver, allowing you to sketch geometry-constrained 2D shapes. Sketches are the main building block of FreeCAD, and the constrained 2D shapes built with it may then be used as a base to build other objects throughout FreeCAD, be it either with the dedicated Part Design workbench or any other workbench.

Espezialitate anitzeko ekosistema handia, gero eta gehiago hazten ari dena

FreeCAD offers dedicated workbenches for a variety of purposes such as CSG modeling, simple 2D CAD drafting, NURBS surfaces, architectural or BIM modeling, 3D printing, CAM and CNC, point clouds, working with OpenSCAD files, designing industrial robot trajectories, doing Finite Element Analyses, and much more. FreeCAD also provides easy tools to install and manage add-on workbenches and macros developed by the users community.

Komunitateak garatua

FreeCAD mundu guztiarentzat dago egina, zu bezalako pertsonek sortua. FreeCAD tresna libre eta indartsua bihurtu nahi duten garatzaile, erabiltzaile, moderatzaile eta itzultzaileen komunitate batek garatzen eta mantentzen du. Garapenean hartzen diren erabakietan ez dago dirua irabazteko asmorik, ez dizu inork FreeCAD bertsioa eguneratzera behartuko eta ez dizute inposatuko lan egiteko modu jakin bat. Bai FreeCAD bera bai harekin sortzen dituzun fitxategiak eta datuak zureak izango dira betiko.
