The Complete Course Of Freecad 2023

Learn AutoCAD Plant 3D in a Professional way. Become an expert in CAD, 2D sketching, 3D modeling, assemblying, plans…

What you'll learn

At the end of the course you will fully master FreeCAD, to be able to conduct out your own 3D modeling projects, tech drawings and assemblies from scratch

You will become familiar with its interface, toolbars and basic commands, and you will master all the phases of the design, layout and configuration process

You will be able to design step by step 3D modeling geometries, understanding all the logic and ending with advanced practical examples

You will learn in a professional way the parametric and other models for 3D modeling

You will understand the fundamental concepts to be able to generate renderings and 3D printing in a professional way

You will learn the design and generation 2D tech drawings, sketches and plans, according to the standard, and above all, understanding their interpretation

You will master all the assembly process, using all assembly options of FreeCAD

You will be able to practice the content learned in a practical way by following all the steps in the complete exercises

You will start with the basics and progressively carry out more complex steps until you reach an advanced level and absolute mastery at the end of the course

Requirements

Having basic notions of any CAD software can help, but the course starts from scratch

Download and install FreeCAD (if you don't know how, don't worry, it's very easy, free and I'll explain it to you in the course!)

A decent computer and of course, desire to learn!

Description

Become a FreeCAD professional and learn one of employer's most requested skills nowadays!This comprehensive course is designed so that students, engineers, designers, arquitects… can use FreeCAD software from scratch to use it in a practical and professional way. Never mind if you have no experience in the software, you will be equally capable of understanding everything and you will finish the course with total mastery of the subject.After several years working as an Engineer, I have realized that nowadays mastering FreeCAD for the design and 3D modelling of any object is very necessary in engineering, designing or other industrial applications. FreeCAD is an open source software (it works without commercial licenses), and that is why it is one of the leaders in the industry and its demand is increasing. Knowing how to use this software can give you many job opportunities and many economic benefits, especially in the world of engineering, architecture or design.The big problem has always been the complexity to perfectly understand the software it requires, since its absolute mastery is not easy. In this course I try to facilitate this entire learning and improvement process, so that you will be able to carry out and understand your own projects in a short time, thanks to the step-by-step and detailed examples of every concept.With more than 6 exclusive hours of video, this comprehensive course leaves no stone unturned! It includes both practical exercises and theoretical examples to master FreeCAD. The course will teach you 3D modelling in a practical way, from scratch, and step by step.We will start with the installation of FreeCAD software on your computer, regardless of your operating system and computer. Then, we'll cover a wide variety of topics, including:Introduction to FreeCAD and course dynamicsDownload and Install FreeCAD latest versionGeneral familiarization with the user interface and workbenchComplete project setup and basic FreeCAD Commands and PreferencesApplication and working with all workbench tools3D modelling design and 2D tech drawing, from zero to advanced Parametric and other models for 3D modelingRendering and 3D printingFull use of Assembly in FreeCAD2D Tech drawingMastery and application of absolutely ALL the functionalities of the softwarePractical exercises and much more!In other words, what I want is to contribute my grain of sand and teach you all those things that I would have liked to know in my beginnings and that nobody explained to me. In this way, you can learn to solve a wide variety of projects quickly and make versatile and complete use of FreeCAD. And if that were not enough, you will get lifetime access to any class and I will be at your disposal to answer all the questions you want in the shortest possible time.Learning FreeCAD has never been easier. What are you waiting to join?
