How to FDM Print for Part Sliding Clearance

13 4 Intermediate
If you are 3D printing parts that have to fit/slide together after printing, you will need to put some sort of clearance between those parts in your CAD system. A good starting place is a clearance 2x the layer height you are going to print at, but you should make a few smaller test prints at different clearances to see if the 2x layer height rule holds for your particular situation and orientation. Have fun and happy printing!

Welded coffee table

The Revolution tool creates a solid by revolving a selected sketch or 2D object about a given axis. When creating a revolution, the Revolution parameters dialogue offers several parameters specifying how the sketch should be revolved. | Part Design| Wireframe | As is | Revolution | Revolution.

Freecad tutorial - Table design using variables and spreadsheet

1 2 Intermediate
In this tutorial I will show you how you can design an assembly using variables and a spreadsheet. I will associate all the dimensions of the coffee table to variables in the spreadsheet. I will also use the spreadsheet to create a family of assemblies (Configuration table)

FreeCAD: Sketching a Lofted and Curved Surface without using the Curves Workbench

2 0 Intermediate
Notes It is assumed that all geometry in the sketch is enclosed within the blue construction frame. This includes all other construction geometry, as well as the visible internal geometry of complex curves (Bezier, Ellipse). If this is not the case the bounding box of the sketch will be larger than the construction frame and the final mapping will be scaled down accordingly.

An almost everyday task, it is necessary to design a prism for a machine; for ease of manufacture, the standard solution is to make the part using laser cutting and weld the lighting. Designing the effect in FreeCad, preparing the crossbars in Qcad. This is an example of how it is possible to use FreeCad as a professional tool. The process uses only standard workspaces

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.
