TRAINING "FREECAD 3D DRAWING BASICS"

 Do you cut with a laser, use a CNC machine or a 3D printer and want to learn how to draw 3D drawings? FreeCAD 3D drafting training for you!

When will FreeCAD training be organized?

• Distance education will be organized this year. October month. on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:00 p.m. via ZOOM. The duration of one lesson is 1 hour. 30 min. Training course (8 lessons, 16 credit hours). The exact start date of the training will be announced later.

Why choose FreeCAD?

• FreeCAD is an open source program and it is free;
• It has a large selection of desktops, thanks to which you will be able to draw 2D drawings, 3D drawings, 3D structural assembly drawings, create realistic 3D visualizations;
• With the help of "FreeCAD" you will be able to automatically create G-code and adjust CNC machine settings according to your needs;
• FreeCAD supports many drawing formats: SVG, DXF, DWG, STL, STEP, PDF, etc. so you can easily share drawings or import them into FreeCAD;
• In its capabilities, FreeCAD is very similar to AutoDesk Fusion360 and SolidWorks. Compare drawing with these programs with FreeCAD: Watch the video: https://youtu.be/h192p5Y4DW0
