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. They deserve it\!\!\! ----- ### "The best free app to model and create in 3D" — 5.0/5 > **Cesar A** | *5 April 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has a lot of features to manage and modelling, you haveparametric model, modular architecture, drawing sheets, rendering, robot simulation, and so many other features, you can use all or one that fits on your needs, it is very powerful and manage the models with a lot of details and precision. > > **Cons**: For me was difficult to start using the software, because the only manual that I can find was in the main page, I think that the amount of people who works with FreeCAD is very short, and sometimes is difficult to find tutorials of explanation of how to make models. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "This is the perfect tool for small projects" — 5.0/5 > **Ana Gabriela** | *8 June 2018* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For small design projects it is a very complete tool that helps you solve problems effectively without having to invest a penny. > > **Cons**: It is evident that being a free software lacks modules that other programs do have, however it seems to me that I have no complaints to make. ----- ### "A free CAD for drawings and modeling" — 4.0/5 > **Robson** | *15 July 2021* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has a lot of features to make a 2D drawing or plans, to model in 3D or even use BIM in your workflow. > > **Cons**: Because of its complexity, it is confusing at the beggining. > > There are too many tutorials in their website to know how to use it, but still was hard to me to work with this CAD. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2046868/freecad?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/2046868/freecad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
