@freecad.orgSpotted on our fediverse: a new Microwave Workbench in development, packed with tools for high frequency design and simulation. Not in the Addon Manager yet, check the repo readme for setup and examples.

@tomaspolak.bsky.social#FreeCAD BIM Interior Design Project course by FCB Lounge has been released. It will guide you through creating a bedroom project from scratch to 2D plan and elevation views. You can attend it for free here: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
@freecad.orgWhat's New in FreeCAD 26.3? Watch the SW Mania Challenge 2017 model recreated in the dev build, featuring new perpendicular/parallel auto-constraint hints, custom Pocket start position and dimensioning directly to model edges.
@mayforge.bsky.socialCAD model of new chain guard to be printed to replace a missing one from berg go-kart. It will print in 4 parts and each part will snap together #speirgorm #berggokart #freecad #mayo
@saintdoodle.bsky.socialP.S. Dear #FreeCAD, including the Point-on-point constraint in the default constraints toolbar might be worth considering, too; I honestly use it far more often than perpendicular or tangent in most projects.
@saintdoodle.bsky.socialand some visibility issues that need to be tweaked a bit in dark mode (at least, for someone in their late 40's who's been staring at computer screens as long as I have).
But even with those in mind, I find #FreeCAD easier to use than Fusion, for me. I didn't think I'd ever see this in FOSS CAD.
@freecad.orgNew tutorial: Part Design and Sketcher improvements in FreeCAD 26.3 dev.
Watch the new offset start position, dimensioning directly to model lines and more in action while modeling a real part.

@freecad.orgSubtractive Part Design features (Pocket, Groove, Loft, Pipe, Helix,...) now support a Common operation alongside the default Subtraction, keeping only shared material instead of removing it. New Operation dropdown in each task panel, with matching preview highlighting.
@freecad.org79 PRs merged! Sketcher Fillet now preserves corners between arcs, PartDesign gets a defeaturing command, and Assembly adds a coaxial gear joint. Plus Sketcher dimension tools can reference model edges directly.
