FreeCAD FreeCAD is a general purpose parametric 3D CAD modeler. The development is completely Open Source (LGPL License). FreeCAD is aimed directly at mechanical engineering and... It is free and works on Linux while Fusion 360 is susceptible to license changes at any time. FreeCAD currently has some issues in the UX and ease of use compared to Fusion 360 but once you get used to the workflow you can use it as full alternative. farahats9 • Oct 2020 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree Agree FreeCad has been my go to since I left school, and the free student demo of solid works, as there are many packages you can add on to make it more customization.
