TRAINING "FREECAD 3D DRAWING BASICS"

 Do you laser cut, use CNC machines or a 3D printer and want to learn how to draw 3D drawings? FreeCAD 3D drawing tutorials for you!

When will FreeCAD training be organized?

• Distance learning will begin on October 2, 2024 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:00 PM via ZOOM. Duration of one lesson is 1 hour 30 minutes. Training course (8 lessons, 16 academic hours). End of the training course on October 28, 2024.

Why choose FreeCAD?

• FreeCAD is an open source program and it is free;
• Has a large selection of workbenches, thanks to which you will be able to draw 2D drawings, 3D drawings, 3D structural assembly drawings and create realistic 3D visualizations;
• With the help of FreeCAD, you can automatically generate G-code and adjust CNC machine settings to your needs;
• FreeCAD supports many drawing formats: SVG, DXF, DWG, STL, STEP, PDF, etc., so you can easily share drawings or import them into FreeCAD;
• FreeCAD is very similar in its capabilities to AutoDesk Fusion360 and SolidWorks. Compare drawing in these programs with FreeCAD: Watch the video: https://youtu.be/h192p5Y4DW0

What will I get from this training?

• Participants will be given access to the online training classroom where they will always find drawings made during the lessons, drawings for homework, links to join the lessons and video recordings of the lessons. You will be able to use this access for another 6 months after the end of this training.
• If you cannot attend a class live, you will always have the opportunity to learn from recorded lessons;
• After completing the training course, you will receive a Diploma confirming this.
