Foreword

Thank you very much for choosing this book!

Would you like to deepen your knowledge and skills in CAD design with the software FreeCAD? Then this is the book for you! Because on the basis of nine moderately difficult design projects, you can learn new approaches and new features of the program FreeCAD in this practice-oriented course and improve your CAD skills in this way.

This course is right for you if you already have beginner knowledge in FreeCAD and / or have completed the beginner's course. If this does not apply to you, then please take a look at the beginner's course first. You can find it by searching for FreeCAD | Step by Step.

I am an engineer and in this course I will teach you advanced design in FreeCAD in a simple and easy to understand way.

This detailed and practical course is aimed specifically at advanced users and shows in detail and step by step how complex CAD designs succeed. Get your copy now and start improving your skills in FreeCAD today! 

1 Introduction: course scope and software

1.1 What to expect and what you will learn in this course

Hello and welcome to the FreeCAD advanced course!

Thank you for choosing this course!

In this course, you will find nine great design projects with easy to medium difficulty. You can reconstruct these projects step by step in the free CAD software FreeCAD and in this way improve your CAD skills. As an advanced user, you don't need a big introduction to the program, but certainly want to get started right away. Therefore, after a short note on how to download the program and a few important basic settings, we start immediately with the first design project.

This course is specifically for advanced CAD design only. We will design single parts as well as create assemblies in this course. For the other working areas of FreeCAD you will find separate courses for each of them in the course of time. So, the focus of this course is on advanced 2D/3D design with FreeCAD!

In this course we will deal with easy projects, such as the construction of a coil spring and a carabiner, as well as with moderately difficult projects, such as the construction of a ball bearing or a remote control. But that was just a small sample, there are many more great projects waiting for you. You will be able to reconstruct each 3D object step by step and one by one in this course, in this way you will consolidate the basic functions in FreeCAD, but also get to know new functions.

If you have no beginner's knowledge or have
