slicer and freecad - FreeCAD Forum
Re: slicer and freecad. by mrdic » Mon Sep 18, 2017 11:45 pm. Slicing is a post-process to design and modelling. 3D printers build layers of material, which are the slices. Slicers slice the model, designed in CAD and exported as .stl, into those layers, at the thickness you specify for your printer, which is dependent on the nozzle diameter ...

converting a draft to 3D - FreeCAD Forum
Whereas in FreeCAD the Draft WB has 2d objects in a 3d environment. So you can simulate a 2d CAD application by giving all of your 2d Draft objects the same (presumably 0) z value (you can set any plane as a working plane in FreeCAD). However all objects do have 3d placement and properties. The advanced FreeCAD Draft WB tools, like Draft Clone ...

Which Free CAD would you recommend for 3D printing?
True CAD software either use CSG (outdated) or boundary representation (B-Rep). All modern CAD software use B-Rep, and so does FreeCAD. OpenSCAD is popular in the 3D printing community, but it's a tool for programming-minded people - which I'm not. It can only export to .CSG (an open but non-standard file format) and .STL.

Point clouds - FreeCAD Forum
A point cloud is a set of data points in space. The points represent a 3D shape or object. Each point has its set of X, Y and Z coordinates. Point clouds are generally produced by 3D scanners or by photogrammetry software, which measure many points on the external surfaces of objects around them. As the output of 3D scanning processes, point ...

Convert 2D drawings in FreeCAD into 3D model?
It's possible, but it might not be very useful. 3D CAD is quite different from 2D CAD. If you have a dimensioned blueprint of the part it might be faster to model it from scratch using the blueprint as reference. It all depends on the complexity of the part. 3 posts • Page 1 of 1.

Create a part by tracing an image - FreeCAD Forum
Yes, FreeCAD is intuitive for someone with prior CAD experience. However, for someone with experience even with 3D modeling software such as Maya, Blender, Google Sketchup, Second Life, etc., FreeCAD Draft workbench is entirely incomprehensible unless one has experience in another CAD program or are shown exactly what to do.
