FreeCAD is a free and open-source parametric 3D CAD modeller and design suite used by architects, engineers, product designers, and hobbyists. It supports sketching, part design, assembly workflows, finite element analysis (FEA), CAM programming, and architectural modelling through a modular plugin system. FreeCAD is cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Linux) and is widely used in professional workflows as well as education and maker communities. The app handles both 2D drafting and complex 3D solid modelling with full parametric history, allowing designs to be edited and updated after creation.
