Introduction

The Rocket Workbench is a set of tools for designing rockets and rocket components. The intended audience is builders of model and amateur rockets of all types and sizes.

Currently, the tool is used primarily to create individual components rather than complete rockets. Based on Part Workbench, the designed components can then be 3D printed, CNC manufactured, or laser cut. Future development will allow the modeler to construct complete rockets.

Installing

The Rocket workbench is not bundled with the default FreeCAD package, but can easily be installed via the Addon Manager. Invoke it from Tools → Addons Manager. The Rocket workbench code is hosted and developed on github and can also be installed manually by copying it into FreeCAD's MOD directory.

Note

The Rocket workbench is a work in progress, and will change often. Be sure to update it regularly!
