FreeCAD has enormous aspirations - but it struggles to deliver. But use it right and it's actually pretty decent!

    I use it for designing 3d printable rc robot parts - nothing but sketching and extruding, and importing my electronics so I can make sure it all fits. Never really use the fancier features. I should give it a shot. I'm not an engineer by any stretch, just someone who really likes robot combat.

      Oh yeah, then FC is perfect. It handles extruded parts really well. The only time it runs into issues is when you start tying to do organic shapes.

      The curves bench is actually okay though as long as you understand the flow.
