About FreeCAD/hr



FreeCAD je program za parametarsko 3D modeliranje CAD opće namjene. Razvoj je potpuno Otvorenog koda (LGPL licenca). FreeCAD je namijenjen inžinjerima mašinstva i dizajnerima proizvoda, ali se također uklapa u širi raspon upotreba oko kao što su arhitektura ili drugi inženjerski smjerovi.

FreeCAD podržava alate koji sliče ovima na Catia, SolidWorks ili Solid Edge. Zbog toga spadaju u kategoriju MCAD, PLM, CAx i CAE. To je feature based parametric modeler sa modularnom "software" arhitekturom koja omogućuje dodatne funkcije bez promjene jezgre sistema.

As with many modern 3D CAD modelers it has many 2D components in order to sketch 2D shapes or extract design details from the 3D model to create 2D production drawings, but direct 2D drawing (like AutoCAD LT) is not the focus, neither are animation or organic shapes (like Maya, 3ds Max, Blender or Cinema 4D), although, thanks to its wide adaptability, FreeCAD might become useful in a much broader area than its current focus.

FreeCAD makes heavy use of all the great open-source libraries that exist out there in the field of Scientific Computing. Among them are OpenCascade, a powerful CAD kernel, Coin3D, an incarnation of Open Inventor, Qt, the world-famous UI framework, and Python, one of the best scripting languages available. FreeCAD itself can also be used as a library by other programs.

FreeCAD je potpuno više sistemski program multi-platform, trenutno radi na Windows i Linux/Unix i Mac OS sistemima, sa istim izgledom i istom funkcionalnošću na svim platformama.

O FreeCAD projektu
The FreeCAD project was started as far as 2001, as described in its history page.

FreeCAD is maintained and developed by a community of enthusiastic developers and users (see the contributors page). They work on FreeCAD voluntarily, in their free time. They cannot guarantee that FreeCAD contains or will contain everything you might wish, but they will usually do their best! The community gathers on the FreeCAD forum, where most of the ideas and decisions are discussed. Feel free to join us there!
