Whether you are engaged in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering or architecture, BeckerCAD12 3D Pro enables you to design and model detailed 2D and 3D models. The wide range of drawing, editing and labeling tools helps you to accurately create objects ranging from 2D production drawings that are true to size up to rendered 3D visualizations. Complex 3D graphics can be easily imported in order to create impressive presentations. BeckerCAD12 3D Pro has a programming interface with Python and is fully compatible with AutoCAD and CADdy++ Mechanical Design. Realistic scene preview through improved light sources with advanced settings options. Adoption of object colors, material properties, etc., from graphics and saving bills of materials.

About

FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD allows you to sketch geometry constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects. It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 3D models to create high quality production ready drawings. FreeCAD is a multiplatfom (Windows, Mac and Linux), highly customizable and extensible software. It reads and writes to many open file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, DAE and many others, making it possible to seamlessly integrate it into your workflow. FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture. Whether you are a hobbyist, a programmer, an experienced CAD user, a student or a teacher, you will feel right at home with FreeCAD.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It is cost effective, and evidently makes sense with the cost because the interface is so difficult to understand and for a designer it is a pain when none of the pan and tilt options are not on the mouse.

Cons

  • Interface, 3D modeling, non parametric, steps involved in basic constructions, movement of working planes for simple designs, toggling on and off of the 2D and 3D options for 3D part features. Drawing of extra construction lines, the list goes on and on.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It works very well. It has a somewhat steep learning curve which is less if you come to it fresh. It is a very, very good program. I've used the other big 3, and this is very, very comparable. I highly recommend it.

Cons

  • Nothing comes to mind.
