My keyboard replaced half my CAD clicks.

Researchers have developed a new LiDAR approach that makes it possible to image small objects with much greater precision and accuracy than conventional LiDAR. The method could be useful for acquiring ...

I want to add sequential numbers to many text objects in my drawing. But entering them one by one is really tough when there are so many... Sometimes I skip a number or duplicate one. And if I want to ...

[Kevin] admits that FreeCAD may not be the ideal tool for editing STL files. But it is possible, and he shares some practical advice in the video below. If you want to get the most out of your 3D ...

MIT engineers are developing an AI model that can operate CAD software the same way a human designer does. The system takes a 2D sketch and turns it into a 3D model by clicking buttons and navigating ...

If you think about it, STL files are like PDF files. You usually create them using some other program, export them, and then expect them to print. But you rarely do serious editing on a PDF or an STL.

This proposal includes the "objects" feature from OEP8. Note: the object() and has_key() functions have already been added to the development snapshot, but are still shown here. The idea is to add a ...
