<summary>An open source parametric 3D CAD modeler</summary>
<description>
<p>
FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler. Parametric modeling
allows you to easily modify your design by going back into
your model history and changing its parameters. FreeCAD is
open source (LGPL license) and completely modular, allowing
for very advanced extension and customization.
FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made
primarily to design real-life objects of any size.
Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your
design by going back into your model history and
changing its parameters. It is is designed to fit a
wide range of uses including product design, mechanical
engineering, architecture and 3D printing.
</p>
<p>
FreeCAD is multiplatfom, and reads and writes many open
file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL and others.
FreeCAD allows you to sketch geometry constrained
2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects.
It contains many components to adjust dimensions or
extract design details from 3D models to create high
quality production-ready drawings. it is a multiplatfom
(Windows, Mac and Linux), highly customizable using the
Python language. It reads and writes to many open file
formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC,
DAE and many others, making it possible to seamlessly
integrate it into your workflow.
</p>
<p>
FreeCAD includes a modern Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
tools, experimental CFD, BIM, Geodata workbenches,
a Path (CNC) workbench, a robot simulation module that
allows you to study robot movements and many more, and
a rich collection of plugins and macros installable
directly from within the application.
