New for this year, within the line of learning activities that we call Hirikikas, we will be starting a series of monthly workshops in which we will acquire the necessary knowledge to handle different free software programs with which to make up a toolkit of basic tools for a laboratory.
The first of these will be about FreeCAD, a 3D parametric modeller originally created to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modelling allows us to easily modify the designs made by returning to the history of the model and changing its parameters.
FREECAD WORKSHOP PROGRAMME
-
Installation of FreeCAD, free software for the 3D parametric modelling of items.
-
Review of the repositories of 3D items and selection of examples for modification.
-
Analysis of other software such as Autocad, Tinkercad, 123D Design, CATIA and Solid Edge.
-
Exercise 1: modelling a peg.
-
Exercise 2: modelling of a vase.
-
Exercise 3: creation of a freely chosen item that, if possible, will be printed in the workshop.
This workshop will give an exhaustive introduction to the open source software FreeCAD, a 3D parametric modeller originally created to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modelling allows us to easily modify the designs made by returning to the history of the model and changing its parameters.
