FreeCad for Beginners | Pad and Pocket

FreeCad for Beginners | Pad and Pocket | Lesson 2

Рет қаралды 97,892

Күн бұрын

After watching lesson 1 where I taught you the basics of FreeCad we will now dive a bit deeper into the pad and pocket tools in the Part Design Workbench. Padding is the FreeCad Part Design equivalent of extruding in other CAD programs. In addition, I will review basic navigation, using a mouse, and cover the basics of Fillets and Chamfers.
This lesson is in preparation for the 3rd lesson in the series where we will model a desk attached cable holder in FreeCad.
You can download FreeCAD at freecadweb.org/
Please join the discussion at the free MakeWithTech community discussion group located at forum.drvax.com.
Let's continue to learn together.

I've been banging my head against a wall trying to figure out why my separate padded sketches kept "merging" together and omg...each part should be in its own Body... DUH! Thank you for explaining it so simply! It makes so much sense. You have a lovely instructional style and your enthusiasm for 3D printing is infectious. Will definitely check out the rest of your channel! :D

Hi Dr. Vax (Make With Tech), I've discovered 3D Printing back in university a couple years ago, I was simply asked to upgrade a Prusa printer, but by doing so, I discovered my love of this world - that is, reconnecting with my roots to create things! Fast forward a couple years later, I bought my own 3D printer and, despite being a "working professional", I've taught myself to slow down to learn how to CAD design so I don't need to pull prints from online! Your videos have been my lifesaver, please keep making these (especially from a fellow MAC user as well), much love from Canada. Cheers, Lana😁

Thank you Sir. I was holding of doing CAD designs for many years because of the extreme prices, but also because I never could completely dig deeper in it as time was limited. But being an RC enthusiast for many decades, now I feel the need to learn more about it. I can say it's a steep curve to learn to use CAD design and also wrap my head around the use of my new printer. But you make it look so much easier to understand. Regards, As we say in the RC community: " Break a leg". Thanks and good luck.

I recall when parametric design first started replacing standard CAD systems in the late 80's and early 90's. Designers had stars in their eyes, but soon learned those new systems had serious drawbacks for some engineering solutions. It is amazing that a 'free' product today can run circles around those early, super expensive solutions.

@artesim_779 4 жыл бұрын

@parrotm76262 Hi, I'm rather new to CAD in general, like most people here I think. I first learned CSG modeling, then FreeCAD's parametric design (which I think is more like BRep, right ?). So can you summarize these drawbacks you mention to newcomers like me, and better yet, can you tell us what was next after that ?

@parrottm76262 4 жыл бұрын

@@artesim_779 I was in Aerospace at the time, and Parametric modelers of that day couldn't handle lofted surfaces, or surfaces themselves. That meant they were DOA in my industry. These days, most systems that offer Parametric design has some type of surfacing capability, so shouldn't be an issue.

FYI for those who are watching this series of tutorials one after the other and still have the previous body listed on the Model tab, you may find that you get the message "To create a new PartDesign object, there must be an active Body object in the document. Please make one active(double click) or create a new Body." You can't double click the "body" in the 3D view to do this, you have to double click the name of the body in the model list, or you can right click on it and choose "toggle active body". How do you know, which body is active? It's not highlighted in the 3D area, but the name of the body is written in bold in the Model list.

@DrVax you might be having the same problem with the fancy Logitech mouse as I did. The mouse wheel on mine was intended to also scroll side to side and if you click very carefully straight down you can get a middle button click but usually the scroll click gets in the way. I mapped scroll left and scroll right clicks to be just regular middle button clicks with the downloaded Logitech software.

Hey DrVax, I just wanted to thank you for these videos. I trained with Catia for 3 years almost a decade ago and have since lost all my CAD/CAM skills. I recently tried using Fusion 360 but couldn't get along with it. To my surprise FreeCAD is actually quite good and in many respects similar to Catia. It's just got a slight difference in terminology. You're a great teacher - will you be making more videos on FreeCAD?
