𞋴𝛂𝛋𝛆There is now a FreeCAD community on Lemmy.ml
HazdazI haven’t found a community on Lemmy for Solidworks and there is one for freeCAD?!?
Think about where you are. Solidworks costs many thousands of dollars for a licence. FreeCAD is free. Which one do you think the vast majority of Lemmy users would use?
Solidworks.
By far.
It owns 1/4 of the CAD market all by itself. No one, and I mean no one, who uses CAD for a living is going to waste their time with FreeCAD.
I would also argue that the majority of CAD users use it for work. Work pays for the license.
Well of course. That doesn’t mean that as a user I wouldn’t want to connect with otherSW users, see what they are up to and even answer questions that new users might have.
rambosNot always. Its 5-15 k € for a license with 1 year of updates. Many small companies find a way just like students do. Its just more user friendly and more powerfull. Im afraid Im too old to see foss on that level before I die, but Im sure it will get there one day.
I love the idea of 3D CAD foss on lemmy. Im gonna follow and hope it gets better and more popular
