While these issues are not common, they can be disruptive when they do occur. - However, if some of the issues will not be solved and another more user friendly alternative will be present on the market, I feel like it will be abandoned quickly. ## FreeCAD customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 143 (page 1). ### Un excellent outil open source pour le prototypage et l’innovation technique - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Utilities - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · monthly - Reviewed: October 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Dans le cadre d’activités liées à la maintenance haute tension et à l’innovation, FreeCAD constitue un outil très utile pour transformer rapidement une idée en modèle 3D exploitable. Le logiciel permet de développer des prototypes, de vérifier des principes mécaniques et de préparer des pièces pour la fabrication additive sans dépendre systématiquement d’une licence commerciale. FreeCAD est particulièrement pertinent pour les phases d’étude préliminaire, de prototypage et d’expérimentation. Malgré quelques limites d’ergonomie et de stabilité, le rapport entre les fonctionnalités, la flexibilité et le coût est excellent. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros FreeCAD est une solution open source complète et accessible, particulièrement intéressante pour concevoir rapidement des pièces, des outillages, des supports et des prototypes dans le cadre de projets d’innovation. La modélisation paramétrique facilite les modifications et permet de capitaliser sur les conceptions existantes. J’apprécie également la diversité des ateliers, les possibilités d’automatisation avec Python et la compatibilité avec de nombreux formats de fichiers. #### Cons L’interface et l’organisation des différents ateliers demandent un certain temps d’apprentissage. La stabilité peut varier selon les versions et la complexité des modèles. Certaines opérations sont moins intuitives que sur des logiciels de CAO professionnels, notamment pour la gestion des assemblages, les mises en plan complexes et les modifications importantes de modèles existants. --- ### Good free tool, but not at the level of the bests. Ideal for small companies and simple project - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Design - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · monthly - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I usually work with non-very complicated designs and I am used to created them from the typical 2D sketches, but I can highlight some features I like and the ones that helped me more: it is possible to import an STL file (a mesh) and convert it to a solid, which you can work with later (very useful if you want to modify any design found on the Internet); there are many plugins that help to improve FreeCAD, i.e. I use KiCadStepUp tool to import a KiCad PCB easily and be able to see the entire design with it's electronic part, which includes every electronic component. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros This is a good software for 3D design. It is for free and there is a great community that can give support to you, with a lot of tutorials in Youtube. Since I am a contributor of other free and open software like KiCad, it's great to have a 3D design tool like FreeCAD. Also it has many integrated tools to work with 3D and 2D designs, you can review models, import many file formats and convert some meshes like STL to a solid. #### Cons FreeCAD has some bugs and some of the functionality is not very intuitive. From my point of view, the bugs are its worst disadvantage and some of them are the next ones: the third-party components are sometimes not imported properly, that could be because the design is broken, but I experimented it several times, so I suppose there is some bug or incompatibility; the mesh-to-solid conversion sometimes fails; when you are designing a 3D part that has some features like chamfers or edge roundings, if you changes the previous steps and it makes the number of faces varies, the part will break down, so its important to keep this bug in mind and do those conflictive features in the last steps of the part design. --- ### Excellent product for free - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Love it. I used Pro/ENGINEER in the early 90's and it was such a wonderful leap over AutoCAD but hugely expensive. I used my outdated copy of AutoCAD for years until I discovered FreeCAD 5 or 6 years ago. Initially it was a steep learning curve but with the abundance of videos on YouTube and perseverance I am now quite adept at using it. I have designed/built a semi-automatic machine for my production and have several 3D printed tools used in that machine. FreeCAD has been a Godsend for developing and evaluating my ideas and I would definitely recommend it if you are a small business with minimal or no budget for expensive CAD software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Price (free), functionality: solid modeling (not just a collection of lines, arc and circles) , features, (eventual) ease of use, ability to create .stl files for 3D printer. The software is parametric meaning you can adjust dimensions and update the model, ability to create assemblies. #### Cons Steep learning curve but thankfully with YouTube... I haven't looked for awhile but the documentation was lacking when I first got into it. I haven't had to use the forum for help so I can't speak to that but in searching the forum it seems to be very active with volunteers answering questions. --- ### FreeCad - Great hobbiest cad with a caveat - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Libraries - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: October 2023 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Freecad provides an easy method to develop rocket components. This allows students the opportunity to use a parametric 3d modeler to model 3d components that they can then print on a 3d printer and finally actually see their rockets "Blast Off!' It works well for our use at the library and could be useful for many hobbiest projects. It is probably not quite ready for most production work, but that could change soon one the topological naming issue is resolved. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I use freecad to design high power rockets. I also teach it to our STEAM club students at our local library. It is a great exposure for them to using a parametric 3D modeler and with addons provides a simple way to develop rocket components (e.g., nosecone, fin-can, etc.) #### Cons Freecad has one major bug that needs to be fixed before I can generally recommend it. That is the infamous "topological naming problem". This issue is not unique to Freecad. Most parametric modelers have to deal with this issue in some way. In a nutshell, when you add, remove or slice sections of a model that has other sketches extruded from it, then all the surfaces get renamed. This causes the point of attachment of new sketches to be changed, so an extrusion may suddenly come out from the side instead of the top of the model. The Freecad development team is working on this issue, but as an open-source project developed primarily by volunteers progress is slow. Development work on this problem has recently picked up though. Once this is solved, I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone need a parametric 3d modeler. --- ### Great open source program - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Consumer Electronics - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: July 2024 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

It's a powerfull CAD tool, and the best part it's totally free. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Can create any part you can imagine, exports to 3d printing friendly formats, sketching and part design workbenches are relatively easy to learn. #### Cons There are some software quirks on of them is you can not attach sketch to surface and modify the body that the sketch is attached it will mess up the part, while there are ways around that I wish they would fix it in the next iteration of the software. Also if downloading official release the UI is outdated. --- ### FreeCAD professional level tool - Overall rating: 3/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Textiles - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: September 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Excellent tool for designing structures in detail, elaborating analysis parameters for deformation and strength calculations. And it's still possible to do it on less powerful machines, so to speak. #### Cons Transferring the drawing to paper with a level of detail is already a little more difficult, it has a lot of loss, also if you need to make a large and detailed structure, only with FreeCAD it is very complicated, for that you would need some other tools, making a more complex job. --- ### FREECAD - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Computer & Network Security - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: April 2021 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. The most powerful features of Free CAD is the scripting environment. It was easy to create objects in the 3D scene and access and also modify your projects in the FreeCAD interface of the software. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The most attractive feature is that it is free to use I am not very good at designing 3D projects but Free Cad seems to be for me a good platform to teach myself. There are other free design software out there but this one seems to have a lot of features for a free version I like the ease of use for a free open source program the menu items are well layed out #### Cons There are some limited features but for free open source it is not bad. Python scripting I think takes a little patience getting used to but once you catch on it goes pretty smooth for a beginner. --- ### Extraordinary 3D CAD functionality for FREE, yet you need to invest time to master it. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Mechanical or Industrial Engineering - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · monthly - Reviewed: May 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. This is a fully functioning free download that is probably worth the effort to learn (I'm still learning it). I have over 30 years experience using various other CAD systems, yet still need to get over the learning hurdle with this system to feel comfortable using it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Surprisingly powerful and visually similar to other 3D CAD modelers. I was able to import an IGES assembly from another mid-range system without any issues. Although I was not able to then modify the assembly. A good number of tutorials are available on YouTube. #### Cons Functions are similar to other products, yet to me, it is not intuitive and requires investing more time to learn. The icons do not look as elegant as more premium systems, yet what can you expect for a FREE program that people worked hard to create on their own dime. --- ### FreeCAD - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Design - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: less than 1 year · monthly - Reviewed: June 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. It is an excellent tool and with a great community supporting it. Whether it's providing tutorials or substantial improvements to the software #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros For new users in 3d parts for mechanical design it is a good tool. It is an open source project and has a large community that helps fix bugs, implement cool new features, or work on the documentation. #### Cons At the moment I find it limited compared to other software of the same type. But this should improve in no time. --- ### Great Service to Learn CAD - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Retail - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · monthly - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I've only been using FreeCAD for a short time, so I'm by no means an expert, but I've seen that this is a great software and I donated to its development because of that. The community that uses FreeCAD is always helpful and the resources available for learning are plentiful. I feel like more was available for this than some other professional products simply because of the wide community adopment. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros FREE Opensource and well documented for those who like to tinker stl file generation for 3d printing powerful for a free software and not limited to simply the basics abundance of learning material between youtube and forums many users to bounce questions of off #### Cons Very steep learning curve for a beginner UI is clunky, but once you get used to it its not so bad Users need to watch tutorials on how to use it for about the same amount of time they work on a project to use the software --- ### Review FreeCAD - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Automotive - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · monthly - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

I use freecad to model my complex mechanical component parts, and 3d print them. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The 3d design/ modelling is quite exciting. Freecad is easy to use. And it integrates well #### Cons They use different (but similar) names than what I am used to in their 3d comands but I could understand them right away. And they are all working fine. --- ### Freecad, 3d drawing for beginners. - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Electrical/ Electronic Manufacturing - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: October 2022 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

You can creat a 3D model from a 2D, and a 2D from a 3D. #### Cons I like everything about this software, since I never had any problem with it and it’s enough for what I need --- ### Low Cost Parametric CAD and Blueprinting - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: David M. - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · weekly - Reviewed: August 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very satisfied. It did what I needed it to do for a super reasonable price. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I was doing some quick prototyping of a new product and needed a CAD/drafting package. I started with the free version of FreeCAD and found it fully functional, with all the features and options that I needed. Once I learned the system upgrade was the logical choice. #### Cons I found the environment difficult to learn and not intuitive, however, I am not experienced in this area, being a chemical engineer not a mechanical engineer which I am sure would have been much more comfortable. I needed to generate the drawing for some manifolds that we needed to import into Computational Fluid Dynamics. --- ### perfect for working with mesh formats - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Research - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · monthly - Reviewed: July 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Backed by a dedicated group of skilled knowledgeable developers. #### Cons The tool has capabilities far beyond what I am currently using it for. It is somewhat difficult to learn how to perform new tasks as more focus is placed on functionality improvements at the expense of how-to documentation. --- ### Open Source Mess for Many Functions - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Aviation & Aerospace - Company size: 501-1000 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: July 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Extremely time consuming and frustrating for the amount of work produced. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 1/5 - Functionality: 2/5 #### Pros It was free, one of very few 3dD modeling packages with no cost. #### Cons Developing a model in this is somewhat straightforward once you have the logic understood (which is an odd form in itself). However, don't try to modify an existing model, it will begin shifting pieces in random fashion. I had extrusions change sketch planes and a change in a base sketch for an extrusion will cause all attached sketches to lose their associated planes. Within a sketch, form can also move randomly in illogical fashions. If I make a line from another line end and then change the length, it moves the first line, there is no prioritization built in so I need additional lines and constraints to fix design locations. A real pain. --- ### You get what you pay for - Overall rating: 1/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Higher Education - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · a few times a year - Reviewed: December 2018 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered I have used FreeCAD as an hobbyist who has no availability for payed cad softwares, to produce models that I later 3D print. The biggest pro of this software is the number of features implemented and totally free, which makes it the best unrestrained free option for who requires a CAD or a FEM software but cannot pay for it, but unlike another 3D software, Blender, that despite being open source got highly user friendly, FreeCAD feels still quite hard to use, due to a not so agile workflow and some bugs that are still to be fixed. Right now, I feel it is one of the most valid alternatives, especially after Fusion 360 introduced limitations on the numbe of components that can be worked with for free. However, if some of the issues will not be solved and another more user friendly alternative will be present on the market, I feel like it will be abandoned quickly. However, depsite the difficulties in 3D modeling, the FEM part is more straightforward to use and allows to obtain interesting results. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 2/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 2/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros FreeCAD, as the name suggests, is free and considering alternatives on the market available for free right now, this is the only CAD with so many functionalities, which I consider another great advantage. The possibility of having a parametric CAD together with FEM analysis are great. #### Cons It is really complex to use, very little user friendly and the documentation is most of the time not that helpful. I have experienced some bugs with elementary features as well, making modeling even simple parts very tiring --- ### New User - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Management Consulting - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · weekly - Reviewed: May 2020 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Being a new user, I have so far enjoyed using FreeCAD. It is perfect for the small projects that I need it for. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros FreeCAD has everything and more that you could ask for from a free modeling software. I needed to model a backyard project and this software has been perfect for a project that size. I have a little bit of experience with other modeling software, and FreeCAD seems to follow a similar structure making it not difficult to find what I am looking for most of the time. #### Cons I am using FreeCAD on a Mac OS. Most of the limited in-software help info is Windows specific, making it difficult because tools can be in different places. I have had to turn to the user forum for a few items which is very helpful. --- ### FreeCAD.....IS FREE! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Civil Engineering - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · weekly - Reviewed: November 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.
