Kľúčové vlastnosti FreeCADu
Stvorený na tvorbu pre skutočný svet
FreeCAD je vytvorený predovšetkým na návrh objektov zo skutočného sveta. Všetko, čo vo FreeCADe robíte, používa reálne jednotky, či už mikróny, kilometre, palce či stopy, alebo dokonca ich kombináciu. FreeCAD ponúka nástroje na tvorbu, export a úpravu presných pevných modelov, ich výstup pre 3D tlač alebo CNC frézovanie, tvorbu 2D náčrtov a zobrazení vašich modelov, vykonanie analýzy, ako napríklad Metóda konečných prvkov, alebo export modelových dát vrátane množstiev alebo rozpisu materiálu.
Výkonné jadro na tvorbu geometrie telies
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.
Rozsiahle parametrické prostredie
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.
Všade samý Python
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.
Smršť súborových formátov
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.
A parametric constraints-based 2D sketcher
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.
A large (and growing) multi-specialty ecosystem
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.

Vyvinuté komunitou
FreeCAD is made for everybody, by everybody. It is developed and maintained by a community of developers, users, moderators, translators, all united by their wish make FreeCAD a free and powerful tool. There is no commercial aim behind decisions being taken, no urge to make you upgrade your version of FreeCAD or to corner you into a specific workflow or ecosystem. FreeCAD and the files and data you produce with FreeCAD are truly yours, forever.
