Comment on FreeCAD, Ondsel and Prusa Save FOSDEM!
ScottE@lemm.ee 4 months agoStrongly disagree. There’s nothing I can do in any of the commercial CAD programs that I can’t do in FreeCAD. Most people just don’t want to invest the time to learn it - and instead blame the tool. Yes, there’s a learning curve and it requires understanding the tool’s limitations, but if it wasn’t for FreeCAD we’d have nothing in the free, open source space for CAD.

I’ve been doing work in freecad for a year and a half, learning all the time. I also jumped on Solidworks for startups. Freecad simply doesn’t work for anything a tiny bit complicated. Both Solidworks and Fusion blow it out of the water in ease of use and reliability.
