FreeCAD for for Design and Engineering
Learn Modeling, Parametric Design, BIM, FEM, Python Scripting and 3D Printing Workflows from Zero to Advanced.
This course teaches you FreeCAD step by step, starting from the basics of parametric design and interface navigation to advanced modeling, BIM workflows, FEM analysis, and Python scripting.
You will learn how to use different workbenches, model real products, prepare files for 3D printing, create technical drawings, and even automate tasks using Python. The course also covers how to use ChatGPT to generate macros, debug scripts, and speed up your FreeCAD workflow.
With hands-on projects at every level, you will gain practical experience in product design, 3D printing, simulations, and scripting-based automation.
By the end, you’ll be able to design, simulate, and automate engineering tasks confidently using FreeCAD.

What to expect from this course
You will learn what FreeCAD is, how it works, and how parametric design helps you create flexible and editable models. You will also understand how to install FreeCAD, customize preferences, and use add-ons to expand its capabilities.
You will explore FreeCAD’s interface, learn how workbenches function, and understand how 3D space, navigation, and object manipulation work. This gives you a strong foundation for all future modeling tasks.
You will learn how to work with different file types, use traditional 3D modeling techniques, create 2D drafts, and use all major workbenches for real engineering work. This includes parametric modeling and design organization.
You will learn complete product design and 3D printing workflows, from modeling to preparing files for slicers, converting meshes, and generating G-code. You will also work with Cura and other related tools.
BIM and FEM modules will teach you how to create technical drawings, build building models, manage properties, run simulations, and present results with rendered outputs.
You will learn how to use Python inside FreeCAD to create geometry, modify objects, automate tasks, and build custom tools. This helps you unlock FreeCAD’s advanced capabilities.
You will also learn how ChatGPT can support FreeCAD tasks, such as generating macros, learning workbenches, assisting with simulations, building add-ons, automating workflows, and debugging Python code.
Finally, you will apply everything you’ve learned through multiple real projects, including modeling tasks, 3D printing designs, BIM workflows, and FEM simulations with scripting integration.
