Freecad - repairing 3D files for 3D printing.

2 0 Intermediate
Using Freecad to heal 3D models that are created in other 3D application. Ideal for those who use sketchup to create 3D objects and export them as stl files.

Mechanical stress simulation (FreeCAD 0.19 • FEM Workbench )

3 0 Intermediate
This tutorial give an overview of FEM Workbench on FreeCAD 0.19 which allows mechanical analysis by the finite element method. We will look at the steps to follow to applies a force of given value [N] to selected target geometry. Then perform a finite element analysis without going into details of the calculations.

Synchronize electronic and mechanical CAD with KiCad StepUp workbench

6 0 Intermediate
In this tutorial we will make a STEP or IGES file of PCB designed with KiCad EDA. Then PCB will be operable with CAD software. For that we will see how to associate KiCad footprints to proper 3D file (step 1 to 5) and then use KiCad StepUp workbench to load PCB and export it to desired format (step 6 to 9). To follow it, you must have at your disposal complete electronics board project on KiCad.

This tutorial introduces the newly developed MetalWB workbench. MetalWB aims to facilitate the design of welding part with new functions and by grouping existing functions.

Welded coffee table

3 3 Intermediate
In this tutorial we will look at how to use the 'WarehouseProfiles' function in the MetalWB workbench to create a simple welded structure. We will also see how to insert a cutting list into the drawing using the FCTreeView macro and Techdraw.

Alibre Design - How to Drive a Part From a Layout Sketch

0 0 Intermediate
In this tutorial I will use a 2D sketch of the layout of a fan scroll to generate a 3D sheetmetal part using Alibre Design Software. When producing a range of centifugal fans the performance of each particular fan in the range is governed by equations called the "fan laws". Once the actual performance of one fan in the range has been established the performance of all other sizes can be predicted by these laws. This makes producing a complete range of a particular type of fan an ideal task for a parametric 3D approach to produce the drawings and other details ready for manufacture. The main dimensions of our fan are based off the diameter of the rotor.
