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.

About

Better bridges beginning to end. OpenBridge Designer features advanced interoperability, allowing access to Bentley’s civil application data, as well as a seamless connection to Bentley’s bridge design and analysis applications. Project team members can take the conceptual model from OpenBridge Modeler into the design stage and move through the workflow by performing analysis and design including evaluation of construction work stages using Bentley’s LEAP applications and RM Bridge, OpenRoads Designer, ProStructures, ProjectWise, and other applications. With all these capabilities in one application, you’ll accelerate performance, produce intelligent models through intuitive capabilities for 3D parametric bridge modeling, and improve project deliverables with intelligent data management and automated drawing production that revolutionizes the bridge delivery process. OpenBridge Modeler is a 3D parametric modeling software for bridges.

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.
