Overview
--------
* **Freedom to build what you want** FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D
modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size.
Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into
your model history to change its parameters.
* **Create 3D from 2D and back** FreeCAD lets you sketch geometry-constrained
2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects.
It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from
3D models to create high quality production-ready drawings.
* **Designed for your needs** FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses
including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture,
whether you are a hobbyist, programmer, experienced CAD user, student or teacher.
* **Cross platform** FreeCAD runs on Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems.
* **Underlying technology**
* **OpenCASCADE** A powerful geometry kernel, the most important component of FreeCAD
* **Coin3D library** Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model
* **Python** FreeCAD offers a broad Python API
* **Qt** Graphical user interface built with Qt
