For 3D printing, CNC milling or for the manual assembly of complicated
constructs one needs a formal specification of the workpiece, i.e.,
its parts and how these come together. The process to get there is
called Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The process to transform a CAD
model into a series of instructions that can be performed on a machine
is called Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). FreeCAD can do both, the
prior yet a bit better than the latter.
.
FreeCAD is an Open Source CAx RAD based on OpenCasCade, Qt and Python.
It features some key concepts like macro recording, workbenches, ability
to run as a server and dynamically loadable application extensions and
it is designed to be platform independent.
.
Currently, FreeCAD can import and display CAD models in IGES, STEP, and
BRep formats and meshes in STL, BMS, AST and Wavefront OBJ formats.
Editing and modeling features are currently somewhat limited.

This is a metapackage of FreeCAD component packages.
