FreeCAD can do geometry, but if you can’t reason your way through the constraints you need to set for it to do that then you’ll be flailing around. FreeCAD definitely saves me from doing arithmetic, but not from doing maths.
- eternityforest 5y agoI usually find the constraints are a pretty direct translation of how I would describe a part in non-tech nical writing. Math definitely is helpful, but unless you are a full time MechE, it's not like you need to be able to pass a high school geometry class to be able to print a replacement part for something.
