It is very constraint driven (similar to Fusion), but is picky about ensuring that designs are fully constrained.įrom an open source perspective, FreeCAD feels like Inkscape (open-source illustrator alternative) was 8 or so years ago. Also, am very pro open source/run linux as my daily driver/etc.įreeCAD can do anything I need it too but it will take me twice as long. Is FreeCAD really that bad? It seems to be perfect for my needs.įor some background: Hobbyist, been using AutoCAD since I was a child due to an engineer parent, primarily use Fusion360 currently but use FreeCAD occasionally, and have briefly used others. Reading things that like scare me off a bit, but it seems there is no better alternative.
Freecad vs librecad Patch#
I understand that there is a big bug in it that causes faces to move around, but it seems that there is a patch for it (Thunberbird or something like that). However, I keep reading that FreeCAD is hard to use and sucks. I am also going to use Blender, but I have seen that is better for organic designs as opposed to mechanical designs. The only other software that seems to fit my needs is OpenSCAD, but the programming aspect is a bit of turn off for me. No license restrictions - No fear of losing software access and any designs are mine to do as I wish, even sell if I'd like.After doing some research, it seems FreeCAD meets all my needs:
My main purpose would be to print 3D models for cement vessels for candles. I want to get into 3D printing to make practical objects.
