In their own words
FreeCAD
FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler for product design, mechanical engineering, architecture, and technical tasks. Users can sketch constrained 2D shapes, build 3D models, and revise them through parameter changes or model history. The software creates production-ready drawings from 3D models and includes animation, finite element analysis tools, experimental computational fluid dynamics, and robot simulation. It reads and writes STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, DAE, and other open formats. FreeCAD runs as desktop software on Windows, macOS, and Linux, with add-ons and workbenches for customization. Documentation, tutorials, FAQs, forums, chat, and community channels provide support resources. There are no licensing fees, no sign-up, no paywall, and no stated restrictions. The project is supported by the FreeCAD Team, the FPA, KiCad Services Corp., and other sponsors. External rendering is listed.
