FreeCAD 0.20 For Beginners | 1 | Setup , preferences and navigation | Easy Tutorial for Learning CAD

The new beginners course to FreeCAD 0.20 a series of easy tutorials where we teach the fundamentals of freeCAD using the basics but deliver this via teaching you different workflows. In one lesson you may be learning how to sketch and build a model but will also be following a workflow that will take through the part design workbench all the way to exporting it out in STL format. In another lesson you may be learning how to model in the part workbench to see the differences between it and the part workbench but you will be following a workflow that will allow you to create 2D plans of your model to laser / paper cut.

We aim to teach you freeCAD in a practical way.

If your wondering why this video has appeared on the front page of my channel when we are quite a way through the series it's because I couldn't get the video out of unlisted mode and it was only accessible via the playlist / direct link. I have finally managed to so it can be picked up by youtube. Sorry for the confusion :) And thank you to all for your kind comments and support.

The absolute best FreeCAD tutorial on YouTube. Thank you very much for this.

This tutorial is gold.

Im a 16 year old working on a project and that good man will give me a nice start.

Thank you for taking the time to produce these training videos.
Your mastery of Freecad allows you to get straight to the point in a concise and precise way.
In addition, your vocabulary and your pronunciation eliminate any possible ambiguity. Very good teacher.
In addition, your British accent is very pleasant to listen to.

I've been using desktop CAD programs for 37 years and have read all sorts of "how to" books, watched a staggering number of instructional tutorials, and just muddled through all sorts of instructional classes for various programs. None of them came close to giving me a basic idea of how to begin as did this video. The best aspect of all was the sense that "I can see how this works." As an architect, my two primary programs were DataCAD and SketchUp. As a budding 3D printer novice, you've made me certain that FreeCAD will be my primary modeling software. Thank you. Thank you.

This has got to be the best tutorial composition out there. Thanks so much

[UNaMon]

Thank you. This is the best introduction to this package I've found. I may actually be able to make the simple 3D object I have in mind!

[josechumontanes]

Thanks, Mango. It is really a superb idea beguin "again" with a freeCad beguinners guide (v 0.20), because the web is full of thousands of videos without schedule/planning.
Great idea and great job. Thanks a lot

Very glad I found your channel ! Just divorced from Windows to embrace Linux, needed a program to draw the plans of my Tiny House and for some fun 3D printing modeling later on. Love your style : calm, concise and very British, as a longtime anglophile this couldn't have turned out better lol. ThanX

Just got a 3D printer and this tutorial is a life saver. 10/10

1. I read the reviews bellow and agree with all of them. in two words Really GREAT.
2. I am a System engineer in the high tech and made (as hobby) some designs using SweetHome 3D, a friend told me about the FreeCAD and I read the onlines manuals, I have never been so confused as if it a rocket science. I surrender to watch video ( i watched one (not yours it was OK).
3. After I saw your first Video I understood, that the best and shortest way to get started with this is by watching your great (explanatory, simple, with examples etc..) videos. And never going back to the 'Documentation'.

4. About documentation- Developers engineers have a problem to understand what is the audience and their needs.

It could be very useful to have a text file (PDF) that lists all you actions happening on the video:

You are a god-send with these videos, I almost threw in the towel due to the quality of the other youtubers video I have found, thanks again

So long I haven't been using FreeCAD and been poluted by other evil CAD/CAM packages that I thought I'd better restart fresh with your series... After watching this first one, looks like I finally had a good idea ! ;-)
Thanks a ton for the will, time and effort put into this 🙏
Please keep it on

[deepakhojai]

I am starting new with freeCAD. Your videos answer lots of my queries and i hope to keep on learning something new from your videos.

[АвтобизнесЧехия]

the best FreeCad tutorial on youtube. Thank you very much.

[originalhotrodder]

Excellent tutorial, thank you for making these. Restarting FreeCAD after several prior attempts. Looking forward to completing your new series!

[natashayoung]

That was one of the clearest easy to follow tutorials ever. THANK YOU!!!

[evertonbrome]

Happy Chappy. I'm using Version .20 and I went 90% of the way of part 1. Already watched pt2 so I'm looking forward to push that boat out.❤

[GamingXx]

Thank you for teaching the rest of us lads!

[thelaughinghyenas]

WOW! I am impressed. Thank you SO much for this! I saw some other FreeCAD tutorials and was very frustrated. You have in just the first segment answered a lot of my questions.
