Course Description

FreeCAD software

FreeCAD is a powerful CAD free and open source software to create 3D models. It is free and allows you to convert 2D projects into 3D models. FreeCAD  is powerful with advanced features to create sketches, which offers numerous features to convert sketches in 3D models. This software allows efficient work in computer aided design. Based on a workbench system, it is possible to quickly navigate between different workbenches to optimize modeling. Some workbenches allow you to create primitive shapes for simple 3D models, while others are based on sketches to create complex models with unparalleled precision. The software allows you to work with surfaces, work with assemblies, technical drawings, and even to introduce models on different pages. FreeCAD is one of the best free software programs for working on 2D sketches and converting them into 3D models. It is  possible to work on architecture, improve renders, and manage printing parameters for a 3D printer.

Training course

In this training course, you will learn how to use FreeCAD from scratch. By the end of the training course, you will be able to master all the features of Freecad. In this course, you will work with numerous workbenches, learning in detail the Part and Part Design workbenches, as well as features found in other workbenches. These workbenches will allow you to complete all your 2D and 3D projects. Learning the dashboard, mastering navigation, understanding the tools, features, and sketches that's what you'll learn in this course. Numerous exercises are also included to put the features into practice. You'll be given the opportunity to create technical drawings, different 3D models, and various parts.

Explain well, but a bit too slow. Entire experience is understandable and instructor explain well.

By Jørgen Daniel Vilhelm Christian Buch on 1/30/2024

An excellent introduction to the principle designing techniques to use in FreeCAD. It would be nice to see a follow-up course that focused on the use of FreeCAD in architecture and BIM(Building Information Modeling). Personally, I find that FreeCAD is quickly becoming a viable alternative to closed-source CAD solutions and is facilitating the use of CAD where it otherwise would not be economically feasible.

By Marc Vooijs on 10/5/2023

Deze cursus gaf me alle informatie heel snel en duidelijk. Met de kennis die ik al had van FreeCAD heb ik veel bijgeleerd door deze cursus. Echt leuk om te doen.

By Steven Graham Green on 4/29/2023

Starting with tool boxes and configuration. Very good.

By Jacques Eduardo Nunes on 2/15/2023

O Curso é muito interessante. Aprendi os fundamentos de modelagem. Já havia tentado aprender sozinho, porém nem se compara com a facilidade após as lições. Muito bom! The Course is very interesting. I learned the basics of modeling. I had already tried to learn on my own, but it doesn't compare to the ease after the lessons. Very good!

I was looking for an online Freecad course that had some certificate, and I found this course. The course is fine. I liked it however it can be improved as it is a bit repetitive. I enjoyed the middle and end of the course the most. I liked the idea of ​​creating a project and printing sheets. However, it shouldn't be just one project, it should be more. It would be even more beneficial for those who want to learn if they had some kind of documentation to download, for example the projects to be developed and some kind of manual for them. Obviously I recommend the course to everyone who wants to learn more about Freecad. I enjoyed taking this course.

By Wildkater on 10/31/2022

I've stopped at about 7%. Based on the few chapters I've done, it seems to me that the tutor does not know his way around the software. He spends quite a bit of time pointing to buttons and menus and reading aloud the labels, rather than explaining what they do. The course lacks structure and is nowhere as good as most resources available nowadays for free.

By Ramnath R on 10/27/2022

Good course overall, worth learning. The instructor explain main 3 workbenches in FreeCAD and he did it very well. There are few things that is sometimes a bit difficult is the accent of the instructor, his English is okay some people will find it difficult to understand. But that does NOT affect the course content. He do the same examples on different workbench you become familiarize with the tools. This is one course you could take to get started with FreeCAD.

By Wilco Groothand on 10/26/2022

The teacher does know a log about Freecad, but I miss the "why" in the story he tells. With other words, why are measures so important? The objects created are a little abstract at first. It tells the story about the things he did though. Wish to have learned more about the Spreadsheet and some moving objects would be a great addition to this course.

By Scott Milne on 10/23/2022

Most of the features of the common workbenches were discussed, but there was no detail on the majority of the workbenches and their use. As well there was far too much repetition when discussing features. The projects that were given were less like an exercise and more like a repetitive long form of the lessons just learned. The audio quality was good in that you could hear him quite well, but there was a constant low drumming that was distracting in some of the lessons.
