Very few FreeCAD training videos teach CAD the correct way, using parametric modelling. Regardless of my FreeCAD For Beginners series, this is just one of many resources available to beginners who want to get started with FreeCAD.

Not only is FreeCAD a great choice for beginners, it’s also a great option for those interested in 3D printing. FreeCAD has the ability to create 3D designs specifically optimized for 3D printing. Fusion 360 is a popular CAD software package, but with the recent changes to its license, many are looking for alternatives. If you’re looking for an alternative to Fusion 360 that is free, consider using FreeCAD. The FreeCAD vs Fusion 360 comparison is often in favour of FreeCAD due to its affordability and ease of use, making it a great alternative to Fusion 360.

This CAD beginner course is full of CAD Beginner tutorials which are great resources to learn the basics. If you’re looking for beginner friendly CAD software, FreeCAD is a great option. With its intuitive user interface and wide range of tutorials, FreeCAD is the perfect choice for CAD beginner.
