Open source software for free but with paid support and custom development.
RedHat serves corporate customers for money, and delivers free products to individuals. There are many models to point to but the one I like is RedHat. Labors of love never turn out as well as well funded endeavors. But the truth is this could be a success on the level of Arduino or RPi if the right organizational structure was agreed upon and executed.ĭevs need to be paid. Of course, it's being done by long suffering devs with little resources and time. In FreeCAD, I see a product that is almost there, but suffers from a lack of creative leadership and business thought. This is explicitly mentioned in the wiki. I see the need for FreeCAD to form an organization or foundation as a non-profit. Does anyone know if this is actually Autodesk?)
Here's is a great, professional tutorial series for Fusion360 (Somehow it's almost too-professional unofficial-official. So I've decided to settle for learning CAD first via Fusion360 for now, in hope that by the time I've got a good understanding of it, the various FreeCAD tribes will have merged into one solution, or that the main fork has improved enough that someone makes great tutorials for it. There isn't a long and clear set of tutorials like there is for Fusion360 (Don't know enough to know what I'm comparing)ģ) The interface just isn't as easy to use or learn. Couldn't ask a team to put up with that.Ģ) I found there wasn't a clear path to navigate the choice between the competing versions / forks / assembly things, and learn CAD at the same time. I'm too much of a beginner to drop thousands on the higher end professional software.ġ) The "topological naming problem" / random crashing. I just don't trust Fusion360 not letting me have my files on my own hard disk. I _really_ wanted FreeCAD to work for me.
