a nice and very detailed video on designing a PCB enclosure for 3D printing with FreeCAD and KiCAD
Magazine says: FreeCAD is the future of automobile design
There's an uplifting article on It's Foss, today, claiming that FreeCAD is the future of automobile design.
They say that ethical manufacture begins with ethical tools, and that engineers with a sense of morality must switch to Linux and FreeCAD. There is also some serious critique of Microsoft and Apple being directly connected to the abuse of children.
Here's the article: https://news.itsfoss.com/car-design-was ... computers/
The author makes some interesting points made about car design getting worse the more we use computers. The solutions? Airgap your production machines and use them less.
Hope this is of interest to the community here.

When Dassault starts to argue that its arguably worlds top engineering platform and tools from 3DEXPERIENCE are better then FreeCAD, then FreeCAD must not be that bad...

That's true as you say, in the slides he uses Freecad to compare!! And he says too thinks not true because some of these steps can be done always in FreeCAD, the same software! Changing WB it's not like changing Software or platform.
That's a real that FreeCAD it's making really big big fear to these big companies...
After #ElonMuskBuyTwitter I'm no more on Twitter, that's really enough

Re: Magazine says: FreeCAD is the future of automobile design
Interesting opinion piece. And the authors opinions are somewhat "the sky is falling" and in some points more like conspiracy theories. Holding the 1968 Covette as an example for his points is interesting since its body style was inspired by race and concept cars from the late 1950's. And, of course, computers were not as widespread in design departments in the mid-late 1960's, so sure, minimal computer influence. I'm pretty sure the IT departments of large corporations (certainly all the fortune 500 companies I worked with) are very aware of the traffic on their networks and would be dealing with anything that was leaking corporate intellectual property.TeslaCoil wrote: ↑Sun Sep 04, 2022 6:53 am There's an uplifting article on It's Foss, today, claiming that FreeCAD is the future of automobile design.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with some of his points, I just think he's a bit alarmist in his opinions.

Re: FreeCAD on the web
FreeCAD proponents who have this belief, IMO, are being naive. The large CAD companies aren't likely to have more than a passing interest in FreeCAD (or the new CAD tool in Blender) until it is taking a significant percentage of their sales.thomas-neemann wrote: ↑Sun Sep 04, 2022 11:37 am+1ragohix769 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 04, 2022 11:21 am ...
