I just came across this article. I cannot put it in better words. https://iahip.org/page-1076986 #Greed #DSM #CompulsiveAcquisitionDisorder #CAD

Today, @purism@social.librem.one released the CAD models for the Librem 16 Linux laptop in both the widely used STEP and FreeCAD formats. "Purism products are made to be repaired." https://puri.sm/posts/a-step-ahead-for-customization-with-the-librem-16/ #librem16, #L16, #righttorepair #CAD #FOSS #opensource #FreeCAD #STEP #Linux #laptop #CCbySA40 #creativecommons #purism

Frage an die #Haustechnik #Sanierung #TGA (technische Gebäudeausrüstung) #Wohngebäude #CAD Bubble (gerne teilen):

Ich habe ein EFH, das ich sanieren will, energetisch und anderweitig (Wärmepumpe, Lüftungsanlage, neue Elektrik, Wasserrohre neu, LAN, Fenster&Türen, Dach dämmen&PV, Balkon "absägen" und neu davor, Außenwanddämmung...).

Ich möchte das (insbesondere Bauwerk, Leitungen) gerne als 3D Plan modellieren ( #BIM #digitalerZwilling ), für mich selber zur Planung & Doku, am besten auch zum Austausch mit Auftragnehmern.

  1. kann ich da selber was erfassen oder wird das garantiert Murks und ich sollte jemanden beauftragen? Wonach muss ich da fragen? Welche Kosten sollte ich mindestens erwarten?

  2. welche Software, möglichst FOSS, unter Linux, empfehlt ihr?

Danke!

Very happy with the print. I generated STLs for sleeves to hold a Singer 100ml oil bottle and a mini screwdriver set my daughter got me for Father's Day. They'd been sitting on a shelf on my #Multiboard, and I would knock them off (or knock something else off retrieving them) all the time. Now they've got their own little homes. ❤️ #3DPrinting #CAD

Hello Fediverse! ✌️ We're CADBase — a project for 3D model versioning with a FreeCAD workbench and Blender add-on. Frontend is open; backend is private for now. Feedback welcome :) #Introduction #CAD #FreeCAD #Blender3D #ThreeJS #RustLang

FreeCAD's topological naming fix is the real deal, not just another incremental update. It removes the single biggest barrier to trusting open-source parametric modeling for serious work. This is the moment the FOSS CAD ecosystem starts to actually compete. #freecad #opensource #cad

Nice little @freecad@social.freecad.org project this morning. I designed an end plug for the greenhouse gutters. Now printing in TPU to test for fit. #CAD #3dprinting

@ChristosArgyrop@mastodon.social @Infoseepage@mastodon.social @thatdnaguy@genomic.social also with the whole Export Restictions BS demand gets up. Not to mention even if these cards - like Mining GPUs - can't plug in a display, they propably can still be used for #VDI (#Desktop #Virtualization) setups like "#Cloud" #Gaming & #CAD VMs...Worst-case some low- to mid-budget #animation studios & spechalized #datacenters will just gobble them up for @Blender@mastodon.social /@blender@video.blender.org workflows in #Flamenco.

@Infoseepage@mastodon.social @ChristosArgyrop@mastodon.social @thatdnaguy@genomic.social at least unlike #Shitcoin-#ASIC|s for the like of #Bitcoin these #GPU|s can at least be reused for something productive. Worst-case it'll make #Gaming, #CAD and #HPC "affordable" again.Best case we'll see actual #innovation outside of #Deepfake|s & #Disinformation campaigns!

@asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml The sad reality is that you will likely have no choice but to use AutoCAD since that's what your instructor wants you to use. Even if you are able to use something free/open, there is always a chance that something in the file will render incorrectly when loaded into AutoCAD. The best thing (I think) you could do is do the assignment in both #AutoCAD, and #CAD software of your choosing be that #FreeCAD, #QCAD, #blender, #LibreCAD, or something else with which I'm unfamiliar. After class, speak with your instructor and teach them that these things can be done using #FOSS solutions as well, could be they don't even know. Worst that happens is you'll have taught yourself how to do the same thing in different software. Everything that was taught (that I can recall) in the #drafting classes I took 30 years ago can be done in any of the softwares I mentioned, but I'm sure things are a bit different these days. It's quite irresponsible of educational institutions to push students into specific software, versus teaching concepts which can be translated across multiple. Teaching students only about expensive licenced software (regardless of providing free student licences) over the concepts used to accomplish the task, promotes ignorance over education, and encourages software pirating.

Hello Fediverse! It's been a while — about 5 months since I last touched FreeCAD. Today I got an order for medical equipment and updated straight to version 1.1. Honestly? It feels more powerful and stable. The new feature that shows hole depth visually before cutting? Game changer. Saves so much guesswork. The photos show titanium trauma plates for orthopedics. Used for bone fixation in severe fractures. I can't share most of the dev work until patents clear, but here's a glimpse of what's allowed. Big thanks to the FreeCAD team. You're the only ones doing this not for profit, but for the people. #FreeCAD #CAD #MedTech #OpenSource #Orthopedics #Engineering #FOSScad #Titanium
