Introduction

With this blog I'm going to deliver tutorial for application FreeCAD. FreeCAD tutorial blog is unofficial, I'm a normal FreeCAD user - not developer or  other superhuman:)

Roadmap:

• 1-2 parts in almost every weekend,


• simple parts (screws, valves, camshaft) first,


• complicated parts (conrod, crankshaft, head) when PartDesign module gets sweeps, angle draft etc. features,

• and at the end: assembly,


• optional: FEM, kinematics

To follow tutorials you need actual FreeCAD version. I'll write version at the end of each post.
