FreeCAD Scripts

Intro

These are proposed summary video scripts of 2 minute Extreme Learning FreeCAD instructionals. The specific script needs to be developed. You can parse accepted Video Tutorials to refactor them into Best Tutorials - [1]. This is not a complete list, so more searching is useful.

Sketcher

Draw constrained geometry: length, parallel, perpendicular, angle, round corner, offset, line offset. Up to extruding a part.

Assembly

Boolean operations. Draw an assembly of items. Snap to edge, point, line. Align. With any number of parts.

Drawing Dimensioning

Draw pointers to circle radius, lengths offset correctly.

FEA

Do basic stress analysis on single parts. Analizing a bolted frame assembly.

Exploded Part Animations

Exploded part diagrams and animations example.

CAM

Generate a toolpath from a 3D model. See reference - [2] and [3]. From [4].

Reverse Engineering

How best to reverse engineer anything. Start from STL or STEP, and replace with parametric part definitions.

File Manipulation

Importing, exporting, converting in order to use any file from anywhere.

FreeCAD Development

Kernel. Program. Builds. Repos. Workbenches. Libraries. Wrappers. Running scripts. Python. Macros. Command Line programming of FreeCAD.

Libraries

How to not have to draw anything. Screws. Parts. Repositories such as McMaster Carr, Misumi. Maufacturer's CAD.

Tractor Design Workbench

The Modular Tractor Design Workbench provides a design platform based on parts that have already been developed. Accepted parts are Power Cubes, frames, wheel units, and hydraulics modules, among others. The part set is sufficient to build a tractor with loader, backhoe, bulldozer, a tracked tractor, a weheeled tractor that have already been developed for the Tractor and related infrastructures,By drag and dropping modules from we can use FreeCAD as a Tractor
