FreeCAD is a serious parametric modeler that costs nothing. You sketch a profile, pad it into a solid, then change one number later and watch the whole part update. That makes it a favourite for 3D printing projects, workshop builds and engineering practice. Around the core modeler sit workbenches for technical drawings, finite element checks, toolpaths and architecture, and a full Python console for people who like to script their geometry.

Key Features

• Parametric modelling where sketches and dimensions drive the solid
• Part Design and Sketcher workbenches for precise mechanical parts
• TechDraw workbench turns models into dimensioned technical drawings
• Reads and writes common formats such as STEP, STL, OBJ and DXF
• Addon manager, macros and a built in Python console for automation

How to Download

1. Use the download button on this page, or Download from the official site to get the Mac build.
2. Choose the package for your chip, Intel or Apple Silicon, and open it.

System Requirements

FreeCAD 1.1.4 needs a 64 bit Mac running macOS 12 Monterey or later, on Intel or Apple Silicon. Complex assemblies benefit from more memory and a decent graphics chip.

FAQs

Is FreeCAD really free for work projects?

Yes. It is open source with no licence fees, no feature locks and no subscription, for personal and commercial use alike.

Can it prepare files for 3D printing?

Yes. Model your part, then export an STL or 3MF file for your slicer. Many makers use FreeCAD for exactly this job.

Is FreeCAD hard to learn?

Parametric thinking takes a little practice. Start with one sketch and one pad, and the logic of dimensions driving shapes clicks quickly.
