Description

Practical Introduction to 3D Modeling from Enclosure to Front Panel

Embedding a vintage component, creating a professional looking home for a circuit board, or even designing a complex apparatus complete with a chassis – these and many other challenges turn into a stimulating pleasure with FreeCAD. Once you have internalized the basic processes, there are virtually no limits to your imagination.

Starting to use a new software is never straightforward – especially with a tool as versatile as FreeCAD. Manageable, but at the same time easily usable individual components provide the starting point in this book. Putting these components together later results in assemblies.

In the FreeCAD universe, a workable trajectory is demonstrated. The described procedure is illustrative so the examples are easily applied to custom tasks. The devices were made by the author and illustrated with photos.

Creating a 3D design is requiring some effort but the initial investment pays off soon. Besides the impressive spatial representation of the projects, the extracted drawings yield a solid base for documentation and production. Extended FreeCAD capabilities like the unfolding of sheet metal parts enormously add to efficiency and pushes models forward into practical assembly.

Soon you will definitely not want to do without FreeCAD!

    Very practical

    Although I have been using Freecad for years, in this book I am finding many things that I still did not know. It is a very practical book: learn using Freecad to create some objects.
    I also value other things in books: format, color, good writing and the correct grouping of topics. I like it and recommend it.
