About
FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler built to help you design real-world objects of any size. With parametric modeling, you can easily modify your designs by adjusting parameters in the model history. FreeCAD is suitable for a wide range of uses, from product design and mechanical engineering to architecture and 3D printing. The software allows you to create constrained 2D sketches, which can be used as the basis for more complex 3D models. It includes tools to adjust dimensions, extract design details, and produce production-ready technical drawings. FreeCAD is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and supports various file formats like STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, and more, making it easy to fit into existing workflows. It also supports customization through Python scripting for those who want to automate tasks or develop custom features. FreeCAD offers several specialized workbenches, including tools for Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Building Information Modeling (BIM), CAM / CNC and robot movement simulation. You can expand its capabilities with add-ons, plugins, and macros created by the FreeCAD community, which can be installed directly from the application. This flexibility makes it a practical choice for both professionals and hobbyists.

- Flatpak sandbox
- Wide access
Runs in a sandbox, but a broad part of it is open — typical for tools that need to manage your files or system. It shows what the app is able to do, not what it does.
What it can access
- Reads and changes all your files
- Can run programs outside its sandbox
- Reads files in /run/spnav.sock
- Uses the internet
- Uses the older X11 display system, which doesn't isolate windows from each other
