It's #FreeCADFriday! Hope you have all had a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend. What are you working on with #FreeCAD? #CAD #CAM
@freecad
Well, since you asked... micron precision 3D printer XY Table, 8mm range of linear motion, print-in-place, no support. #RepRapMicron PIKA V0.02
@vik We love watching this project develop! OpenSCAD ftw!
@freecad
Absolutely. I'm teaching it to "Young Grasshopper", one of my students. They're learning parametric ways, and making basic components for a servo-driven arm of their own devising.
@vik we've seen a lot of people pick up FreeCAD from OpenSCAD as we have native support, the openSCAD wb and for some stuff FreeCAD can be quicker, (Jo here and OpenSCAD was my route into FreeCAD!) Ace that we have open source choices here!
@freecad
I can use FreeCAD to make fancier surfaces and CNC paths, but when it comes to version control and user libraries, I rapidly fall back to OpenSCAD. So then, OpenSCAD with FreeCAD support...
@vik awesome. Great solutions.
@freecad our team is working with proceedural design tools for mechanical and electrical - pipe and duct laying. Inspired by all the proceedural pipe geometry nodes in blender.
