In the past, we had many great tools and features of Blender developed as part of the Google Summer of […]
One effective method to learn new software is by analyzing examples of its capabilities and attempting to reverse engineer the processes involved. This approach is particularly useful in the early stages of learning and can be applied to various tools, including FreeCAD and BlenderBIM. For those interested in exploring FreeCAD, a powerful parametric modeler useful […]
Using FreeCAD alongside Blender is a great way to expand your arsenal of options in 3D modeling and technical drawing. FreeCAD offers many tools and features that Blender lacks. For instance, FreeCAD excels with its parametric workflow, providing powerful parametric tools. If you decide to try FreeCAD, which is free and open-source, you will find […]
A great way to start using any 3D design tool like Blender and FreeCAD is with a couple of examples you can use as a guide. It can be a simple project to give you an idea of how to organize and build a project or something more complex like an entire design. Since FreeCAD […]
