FreeCAD 1.0 Ultimate Beginners Crash Course in 1 hour for 3D printing CAD Lesson / Tutorial

New 2025 FreeCAD v1.0 comprehensive, step-by-step crash course designed for beginners! Whether you're completely new to 3D modeling or transitioning from another CAD tool, this tutorial made up of multiple short lessons in one video will introduce you to FreeCAD 1.0's powerful, open-source features. Start by learning how to install FreeCAD v1 on Windows, macOS, or Linux, and personalize your interface for maximum productivity. You'll explore the intuitive Part Design workbench, where you'll learn how to create your first parametric 3D model using sketches, constraints, and various operations in FreeCAD v1.0. This course walks you through everything from basic operations like adding volume with pads and subtraction with pockets to more advanced techniques like mirroring parts, adding fillets, and refining geometry. Learn how to organize your workspace for maximum efficiency, understand the design history in Free CAD and fully constrain your sketches for stability. Gain hands-on experience as you build two parts, a base plate and a bracket, and discover how to export your models in common 3D printing formats like STL / STEP. With FreeCAD 1.0, you’ll master feature-based modeling, where each design element builds upon the previous one in a structured history tree. This course is ideal for engineers, designers, and hobbyists who want to learn how to use FreeCAD 1.0 effectively for real-world 3D modeling and parametric design. By the end, you'll be ready to apply your skills to your own projects, whether you're designing parts for 3D printing or creating complex assemblies. Start your journey with FreeCAD 1.0 and transform your 3D design process! #FreeCAD , #CAD , #3DPrinting 0:00: What we will learn in this beginners course 0:37: Download freeCAD, installation and setup 1:41: Workbenches and the Part Design 2:25: Organizing your workspace and UI 4:48: 3D view navigation 8:17: Creating your first part in the Part Design Workbench 9:31 sketching the base geometry 2D in the Sketcher WB 17:23: Adding volume with the Part Design pad operation 18:25: Profiles and open and closed wires 21:40: Removing volume with Part Design pocket operation 26:11 Housekeeping, renaming and adding version numbers 26:59 Part Design mirror operation 28:26: Modelling the bracket 42:10 Adding a gusset 47:15: Alternative gusset 54:19: Adding a material or colour 56:08: Exporting your model for 3D printing 1:01:12: Additional courses and content 1:01:49: finish Journey with me and Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mangojellysolutions Donate: https://ko-fi.com/mang0 https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/darrenbestone Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUWhaOxsRk_5oPPq00_Y7Dw?sub_confirmation=1 Browse my Redbubble Shop: http://MangojellyLabs.redbubble.com Blog: https://mangojellysolutions.blogspot.com/
