The file of the designed object generated by FreeCAD will be suitable for fabrication using CNC machining or 3D printing. In this presentation the features of FreeCAD that make it attractive will be described, and a step-by-step procedure for generating a drawing of a moderate complexity part will be presented. FreeCAD is a full-featured open-source program which can be freely downloaded from the FreeCAD web site. There are numerous commercially available CAD programs and a few open-source ones. The design of solid parts has progressed from the manual generation of “blueprints” to the computerized generation of 3D drawings which can display the part in a variety of views, including isometric. On Thursday, September 22, 2022, the IEEE Consultants’ Network of Northern New Jersey will host a presentation on the Introduction to Mechanical Design Using FreeCAD.
