FreeCAD is a versatile program for parametric 3D modeling. Initially, the program was developed to perform engineering tasks of any complexity, as well as related to them. However, thanks to the wide toolkit it can become a platform of working out of any 3D models. The FreeCad interface allows you to divide the program's toolkit into a number of "workstations" (profiles). In accordance with the tasks set, the user fills the profile with the necessary tools, removing unnecessary and unnecessary features from the panel. There are also several typical "workstations" with a ready set of tools for different tasks. The interface of the program will be clear to experienced 3D-developers. For the first time the program is started in the "complete workbench" mode (full workbench)

FreeCAD has a set of tools worthy of any 3D model development environment. Object control capabilities (zoom, plane shift, rotation) are well implemented. Rich choice of drawing tools (bars, curves, circles, arcs, rectangles through two points and dimensional lines). As there is the impressive list of modelling of primitive things, and set of ways of change of objects concerning space (cutting off, fusion, extraction, pulling out and so forth) One of the major features - support of scripts. You can access any element of the program from the built-in python console and make changes or write macros.

One main benefit of using FreeCAD is its high flexibility in parametric 3D modeling coupled with a customizable toolkit and support for python scripting.

As a small business owner, FreeCAD has been an instrumental software for my success.  If you are just starting out this service is great because it is free and it is a very high quality service. I started using it in 2015 and it is now 2021 and I am still using it. I was very new to CAD software and this is very user friendly and it was easy for me to accurately get measurements and modelling down for my product.

I have been using FreeCAD for about a year, and I find it very useful for creating 3D models. 
Its interface is easy to understand and the navigation is very intuitive.
I particularly like the ability to work with different parts of a model at the same time. 
It is also very stable and rarely crashes.
There is a great support community with helpful tutorials and forums.
The program is constantly being improved, with new features added regularly.
The rendering capabilities are basic but adequate for most purposes.
The documentation is comprehensive and well written.
It can be a bit slow when working with complex models.
Overall, FreeCAD is a great tool for creating 3D models.

I found FreeCAD to be an incrediabley usueful software for 3D modelling, with a lot of options to explore and customise.

The software is easy to use and has a wide variety of features. The interface could be more intuitive, but with some practice it becomes easier to navigate. One downside is that some functions can be slow to load or may cause the program to crash. Nonetheless, it is a powerful tool for 3D modeling and design.

FreeCAD is a free and open-source 3D modeling software that offers a wide range of tools for designing and prototyping objects.                        

Liam

Offers a wide range of robust 3D modeling tools, but has a somewhat steep learning curve.                        

William

Flexible, precise, great for 3D modeling.                        

Joseph

Love it but sometimes it crashes. Fix pls!

This is a versatile software for parametric 3D modeling. Initially developed for engineering tasks of any complexity, its wide range of tools allows for designing any 3D model. Its intuitive interface allows dividing the software tools into a series of "workstations" (profiles) according to the user's needs. It also offers a rich choice of drawing tools and an impressive list of primitive modeling. One of its most important features is the support for scripts, allowing access to any element of the software from the integrated Python console to make modifications or write macros.
