Programmers can sketch constrained 2D shapes and utilize them as a base to create other objects. It supports several file formats such as IGES, SVG, DXF, DE, IFC, STL, STEP, OBJ, and more. > > Verdict: Rated **4.3/5** by 142 users.

I fine everything i want to do in this software. I like its all programs which are easy to use.And this is one of the best software which work on every system instead of creating problems like some other softwares in market. > > **Cons**: There are no cons for me but it was a little hard to know about the all programs in it .they took time and it is also obvious for every one to learn a new software after some practice it gets easier then easier.. ----- ### "My FreeCAD review" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 October 2018* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: FreeCAD is a free software you can design everything in 3D. This is a lightweight (not consumes PC's cappacity so much) software you can use in your projects. > > **Cons**: The software has not sculpting feature. Besides, it has a poor interface design. > > I mostly use it for my file conversion needs. It detects some important (not much) type of file extensions in the 3d industry. Since all major paid softwares have a kind of free usage option, FreeCAD has a limited user ecosystem rather than others. ----- ### "A free CAD tool sufficient for learner." — 4.0/5 > **Hiran** | *6 January 2021* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free CAD is open source software. User can easily sketch, constraint a geometry, draft a models from 3D into 2D. The user interface is user friendly. Easy to install and run the software. > > **Cons**: The open privacy for free versions make visible of a user project to all. Free version have limited features. Not suggesting for professional designers. ----- ### "Very nice software" — 4.0/5 > **Jeroen** | *8 February 2023* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to learn, similar to other main design software like Creo, NX or Catia. > > **Cons**: It is still being developed. Not all the functionality you're used to designing with other software is already implemented. > > I have been a designer for more than 20 years know and I am using at work NX, Creo and Catia for ICE development and now battery systems. I think FreeCAD is getting there and I really like it. Designing is similar to the packages above: datums, sketches, extrudes, revolves, rounds etc. I don't think I would be able to design a cylinder head with it (all drafts etc) without having major problems, but it is getting better and better. I am using FreeCAD at home for designing stuff for my 3D printer and that really rocks. Please support the FreeCAD team.
