FreeCAD for mechanical engineering projects
I deliver complete projects in FreeCAD and help companies use it in their daily work.
When it helps
- You want projects delivered in an open format, with no licences.
- You are thinking of moving from proprietary design software to FreeCAD.
- You repeat tasks by hand that could be automated with Python.
How I work
Tell me how you work
Software, files and everyday tasks.
I tell you what makes sense
What to migrate, what to redo and what to leave as it is.
We do it in stages
Starting with what you use every day.
What I do
- Projects in FreeCAD
- Design, drawings and analysis in FreeCAD files.
- Migration
- Models, drawings and templates from SOLIDWORKS.
- Python macros
- Part families, bills of materials, exports.
Working in FreeCAD
Model, drawings and analysis in the same program, with files anyone can open and modify, including your customers and suppliers.
I also develop tools for FreeCAD, such as DesignProof: a workbench that varies a model's dimensions and checks whether it regenerates without errors.
Frequently asked questions
Why FreeCAD?
No licences, open formats, and a finite element module (CalculiX) whose results can be checked.
Does it have limits?
Yes. Some workflows are quicker in commercial software, and a migration needs careful planning. I'll tell you before you decide.
Can a SOLIDWORKS file be converted in one click?
No. The geometry comes across (STEP), but the feature history is lost. That is why I suggest migrating in stages.
Do you run courses?
Not for now. If your team needs occasional support during a migration, we can talk about it.
Do you want to work with FreeCAD?
Tell me what you do today and which software you use.
