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].

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]

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.
