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!

Release notes 0.11

This is a summary of the most important changes and new features available in the 0.11 release of FreeCAD. The complete list can be found here.

A screenshot of the 0.11 version

General

  • The FreeCAD translation project has received huge help from many people around the world and FreeCAD now ships with no less than 15 languages: English, German, French, Italian, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Norwegian, Afrikaans, Finnish, Simplified Chinese, Croatian and Dutch. And many more languages are being worked on for the next releases.

  • Several improvements have been brought all over FreeCAD, for example the hierarchy tree now allows complex object stacks, keeping all your geometry history clean and easily accessible and modifiable. New Python API improvements also allow objects to interact better with the tree, defining their own behaviour, icons, etc.

  • The copy/paste mechanism has also been much improved, now allowing easy copy/pasting of objects between documents.
  • The Part Workbench features new tools such as mirroring and edge fillets and chamfers.

Sketch and part design

  • The constraint solver of the Sketcher Workbench has been totally rewritten and the Sketcher, even if still not complete, features already a good array of tools such as lines, rectangles, and constraints such as point coincidence, parallelism, fixed length or horizontal or vertical constraints.

  • In addition to the Sketcher, a new PartDesign workbench now allow you to quickly build solids on top of Sketches. As a rule now in FreeCAD, everything is parametric, you can go back anytime to change your sketch, and all geometry that depends on it will be adapted automatically

Examples: Sketcher demo • PartDesign demo

Robot simulation

  • The Robot Workbench has been extended with many GUI tools and is now fairly functional and allows you to easily simulate industrial robot movements

2D drafting

  • Snapping has been greatly optimized and now works pretty fast, even on complex objects
  • The \"Trim/Extend\" tool can now be called \"Trim/Extend/Extrude\", since it allows you to quickly extrude single faces, offering a convenient shortcut to the standard Part Extrude tool
  • The Draft-to-Drawing sheet workflow has also been enhanced, all the Draft workbench objects can now be placed on a Drawing page, and they all offer the same level of comfort as standard Part objects, offering the ability to change their position, rotation and scale on the fly. They also offer some extra features, such as hatch pattern fillings

  • The Draft workbench also offers new tools such as regular polygons and bSplines
  • There is also a new Edit tool, allowing to edit the geometry of most of the Draft objects

  • Dimensions can now have their text edited and moved, and wires can have an end arrow, allowing to use them as leaders
  • Several commands such as move, rotate or dimensioning now allow you to do several copies without exiting the tool
  • The Draft workbench also gained a Python API.
  • The DXF importer now support block attributes

Examples: Draft module demo

Images

  • The image workbench now features an ImagePlane object, allowing you to display an image file inside the 3D scene, that can be used for example to construct geometry on top of scanned blueprints

Documentation

  • The FreeCAD manual now has several well advanced translations. Check the main page!
