    I like that it is an open-source 3D parametric modeling software with good basic features and part modeling capabilities. I can recommend this software mainly for the maker's space, because it is free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Although it is in continuous improvement it seems to me a limited software in its main characteristics, with functional limitations in its commands and it presents a rigid interface with a workspace that is not expected by a demanding user accustomed to handling high performance design software , it seems to me that it has a lot of potential but it is still in the development stage and perhaps in its next versions there is a greater advantage to be an essential software in the design and construction market.

    I would recommend to the FreeCAD developers community to focus on the main features of what a robust and reliable 3D CAD parametric solid modeling tool must be capable of. Adding more robustness to the part modeling workspace and unifying the assembly workspace are, in my opinion, two ways to have a better user experience Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Overall: 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.

    Overall: I have spent three days making a simple profile that would take two minutes in an ordinary cad software. There are no snap functions and for example putting in a simple dimension could take 20 attempts. I have wasted enough time with Freecad.

    Overall: Was able to see the drawings for my Project and edit them and again render them to the 3D images.
