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.

Automated post-processing such as ‘hot-spot-extraction’ reduces several hours of post-processing time to a matter of minutes. Very effective design review is now possible with DEP MeshWorks with all the hot-spots unionized in one single model and facilitates subsequent design improvements to make ‘hot-spots’ go away. Weight optimization on the Yoke component of a construction equipment using DEP MeshWorks. With the patented Auto-parametrization technology the meshed models in DEP MeshWorks automatically become parametric CAE models enabling subsequent fast design changes. The Associative Modeler in DEP MeshWorks rapidly updates CAE models as CAD changes, dramatically reducing time for model updates.
