Welcome to the total beginners course to FreeCAD 0.20. In this is a two part lesson we will practice our tracing skill in the form of a mini project. Using the below reference photos we will create a more complex part which will consist of repeating features. We will utilise the symmetry tools to ease construction in both FreeCAD sketcher and Part Design workbench. This project work will help teach the fundamentals of freeCAD allowing a understanding of the basics but delivering this information via teaching you different workflows. In this tutorial we will be tracing photos imported into FreeCAD via the image workbench https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Image_Workbench The story of this tutorial The idea and first attempt at creating this tutorial was back in FreeCAD 0.18.  The physical part itself, well, I have no idea what really it is, it looks like something from some flat pack furniture (I believe it was left over from a kitchen fit that was done) and it ended up in my in-tray for...

FreeCAD For Beginners: CAD Thinking Part 1

Image
Learning how to turn real life objects into CAD Models. Using FreeCAD we explain at a beginner level how to break down a physical object into its primitive shapes to digitise it into a 3D model, with this episode we are looking at a multi-part assembly, modelling each piece individually. The series aims to open your eyes and mind giving you the ground skills to pick the correct profiles, geometry and workflow when it comes to modelling your parts. This is not just for FreeCAD but for all CAD packages out there. Part  1 ,  2 ,  3  and  4  have been released.  Part 5 will be coming soon. Part 1: Click here for video part 1 In this video we are dealing with the first part of our latch assembly. We start to break down the part into its primitives and understand how we can use two different profiles from two different planes together to build the part. We will then look at fillets and chamfers and the problems that may occur when filleting this model P...

Beginner FreeCAD Tutorial 14: Reference Document for Exercise 1

This tutorial focuses on modelling a deck eye plate. These items are normally made of stainless steel with some kind of galvanised coating to stop corrosion. They are used in many industries but are most commonly found around boats, ships, sail lofts and docks where they play an important part in marine industry. Finding their use in many applications, they are often wall mounted acting as lashing points for mooring and for tying down sails or canopies. They can even be used for domestic use around the house and garden, for example to anchor ropes, cords and lines. So if your into 3D printing your finished creations, you can make use of the finished result.   Disclaimer : The strength of the part will depend on the internal structure, settings of the slicer and the material it has been printed on.  This will limit its application as failure of the part, damage to property and injury is a possibility.  These items are normally made of steel and are tested to take a...
