While Stripe doesn't support monthly donations, you can still become a sponsor! Simply make a one-time donation equivalent to 12 months of support, and you'll gain access to the corresponding sponsoring tier. It's an easy and flexible way to contribute.

If you are not sure or not able to commit to a regular donation, but still want to help the project, you can do a one-time donation, of any amount.

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate one time only.

You can support FreeCAD by sponsoring it as an individual or organization through various platforms. Sponsorship provides a steady income for developers, allowing the FPA to plan ahead and enabling greater investment in FreeCAD. To encourage sponsorship, we offer different tiers, and unless you choose to remain anonymous, your name or company logo will be featured on our website accordingly.

from 1 USD / 1 EUR per month. You will not have your name displayed here, but you will have helped the project a lot anyway. Together, normal sponsors maintain the project on its feet as much as the bigger sponsors.

from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.

from 100 USD / 100 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page, with a link to your website, and a one-line description text.

from 200 USD / 200 EUR per month. Your name or company name and logo displayed on this page, with a link to your website and a custom description text. Companies that have helped FreeCAD early on also appear under Gold sponsors.

Instead of donating each month, you might find it more comfortable to make a one-time donation that, when divided by twelve, would give you right to enter a sponsoring tier. Don't hesitate to do so!

Choose freely the amount you wish to donate each month.

Please inform your forum name or twitter handle as a notein your transfer, or reach to us, so we can give you proper credits!

MOOC Workbench

align=center|The FreeCAD MOOC External Workbench Icon

Overview

The MOOC Workbench is an external workbench with which you can follow interactive tutorials and make evaluation of your work directly within the FreeCAD interface. The MOOC workbench offers 2 tools: interactive tutorials and evaluations.

  • Currently only in French (and hard-coded).
  • Only compatible with FreeCAD Py3 and Qt5 (PySide2)
  • LGPLv2 (or similar) code funded by Europe through IMT and EESAB.
  • Modular: This workbench was created with the intention that the addition of tutorials and evaluations was modular. In other words, one has to add a tutorial in the lessons folder or an evaluation in the exercises folder to show up in the respective tool.

Interactive

Interactive tutorials (AKA Player) are step-by-step guided exercises with objective checks. It launches directly into FreeCAD and allows you to advance one step at a time of modeling of an object. The user has a text, a video and above all a check that the objectives have been achieved.

Evaluations

Evaluations (AKA Grader) consist of a small program that checks certain criteria of a FreeCAD document, for example, the presence of a part body, a sketch or the final volume.

Installation

This workbench can be installed from the Addon Manager. For manual installation see Installing more workbenches.

Limitations

ATM this workbench is only available in the French language.

Technical Details

From a technical point of view, the workbench is composed of:

  • an \"API\" that contains the code that analyzes the document (MoocChecker.py)
  • the code that executes the tutorials in the \"lessons\" folder (MoocPlayer.py)
  • the code that executes the evaluations in the \"exercises\" folder (MoocGrader.py)

Roadmap

  • internationalization of the workbench
  • Integration of videos in FreeCAD (PySide2.QtWebEngineWidgets?)
  • request the integration of the workbench in the list of the addon manager DONE

  • Source code hosted on Framagit: 1
  • Official complete 2
  • Discussion threads: English / French

External workbenches

FreeCAD workbenches are easy to program in Python, there are therefore many people developing additional workbenches outside of the FreeCAD main developers.

The external workbenches page has some information and tutorials on some of them, and the FreeCAD Addons project aims at gathering them and making them easily installable from within FreeCAD.

New workbenches are in development, stay tuned!
