Beginner
Learning how to design a pipe in FreeCAD using a Python script is an important skill for anyone interested in computer-aided design, automation, or engineering innovation. FreeCAD is a powerful open-source 3D modeling software that supports Python scripting, allowing users to create complex designs through code. Understanding how to use Python to design a pipe not only enhances your modeling efficiency but also develops your ability to automate repetitive design tasks.

Beginner
Learning to design a Faceted Dome (like a geodesic or architectural dome) in FreeCAD using a Python script is a key skill for tackling geometric complexity, architectural design, and fabrication. Scripting a faceted dome transforms a challenging manual modeling task into a precise, automated, and fabrication-ready engineering solution.

CATIA Surface Modeling | How to Combine two Sketches
The Savvy Engineer

Modeling

Beginner
The Combine feature in CATIA’s Generative Shape Design (GSD) workbench is an essential tool for shaping, refining, and controlling surface geometry. It allows designers to merge, intersect, or trim surfaces in order to create smooth transitions and unified shapes. This feature is particularly valuable in industries that rely on complex surface modeling—such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial design—because it provides the precision needed to form continuous and aesthetically consistent surfaces.

Shorten parts parametrically in FreeCAD
DDMDZN
in
Modeling

Intermediate
I needed to shorten a part by 0.1mm. A quick and dirty approach would have gotten the job done, but what if there were more changes upstream? I came up with a workflow to remove material from the "middle" of a part while still being able to make upstream changes that trickle down to the shortened part. Sound confusing? It's not. Play around with the project file and you will see how to replicate this workflow.
