Under its current state, direct 2D drawing (like AutoCAD LT) is not the focus for this software, and neither are animation or 3D model manipulation (like Blender, Maya, or Cinema 4D).
It is intended to be a feature-based parametric modeler with a modular software architecture, which makes it easy to provide additional functionality without modifying the core system.Īs with many modern 3D CAD modelers, FreeCAD has a 2D component to facilitate 3D-to-2D drawing conversion. Users can extend the functionality of the software using the Python programming language.įreeCAD features tools similar to CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, NX, Inventor, Revit, and therefore also falls into the category of building information modeling (BIM), mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD), PLM, CAx and CAE. FreeCAD is free and open-source, under the LGPL-2.0-or-later license, and available for Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems. It is intended for mechanical engineering product design but also expands to a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or electrical engineering. The use of DraftSight helped a customer that makes products for the architectural industry by providing a solution for their staff to quickly and easily read and edit files provided to them by architects and suppliers, while designing their products to fit in SOLIDWORKS 3D.Arduino board imported from Eagle PCB softwareįreeCAD is a general-purpose parametric 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modeler and a building information modeling (BIM) software application with finite element method (FEM) support.One of our customers used DraftSight to directly prepare DXF files for their laser cutter, seamlessly supplementing their SOLIDWORKS-based design process.A team of 10 was able to share 2 network licenses, saving significant money compared to the subscription-based named user licensing offered by another vendor. We helped a customer that manages legacy drawings in DWG format by providing a network license, which allowed their staff to use the software as needed while keeping their software costs down.We have been diving in with engineers like you to help solve business and design challenges for over 20 years.
At Hawk Ridge, we’re driven by the need to provide best-in-class service and support to our customers.
