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.

We call sponsoring the act of donating money recurrently to the FreeCAD project. You can do that as an individual or as a company or institution, through different channels or platforms, depending on your preferences.

Sponsoring FreeCAD allows its developers to count on a steady flow of income, so it allows the FPA to plan things ahead, and the FreeCAD developers to invest themselves more seriously into FreeCAD.

To encourage persons and companies to sponsor the FreeCAD project, we have created different sponsoring tiers. When donating regularly to the project, unless you prefer to stay anonymous, your name, company name and/or logo will be featured on this website, depending on the tier you fit into:

  • ♥ Normal sponsor : 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.
  • 🥉 Bronze sponsor : from 25 USD / 25 EUR per month. Your name or company name is displayed on this page.
  • 🥈 Silver sponsor : 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.
  • 🥇 Gold sponsor : 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!

General

User interface

Further user interface improvements

  • A default shortcut for Std DlgPreferences has been added. Pull request #15536
  • The Notification area preferences page was improved. Pull request #15207
  • Auto save and additive selection features were added to the Measure tool. Pull request #17717

Core system and API

Core

+++ | | Core Datum tools were implemented to create coordinate systems, datum planes, datum lines and datum points which can be attached and also used in Assembly. Pull request #18332 | +++

Click on the image if the animation does not start. The [Transform](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=Std_TransformManip) tool was overhauled and now allows for precise inputs besides dragging in the 3D view. It is possible to align the interactive dragger to any element in the document and to transform the object in that local (U, V, W) coordinate system of the dragger, or in the global document coordinate system. The dragger can be aligned to the object\'s origin as before, and also to the center of mass of the object. It has a new feature to move the object (at the location of the dragger) to a target location in the document and flip the orientation. [Pull request #17564](https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/17564)

API

Removed Python API

Changed Python API

New Python API

Start

Addon Manager

Assembly Workbench

  • The Insert a new part tool was added making it possible to easily add new parts to assembly. Pull request #17922
  • The Create Simulation tool was added making it possible to add motions to joints and create animations. Pull request #16414

Further Assembly improvements

  • The new core datums can be used for attaching joints to assemble multiple parts. Pull request #18332

BIM Workbench

Further BIM improvements

  • The BIM Views panel got an overhaul and now has a section for all 2D views. Pull request #15836
  • NativeIFC support for 2D objects was added to BIM, allowing to embed 2D objects (linework, texts, dimensions) inside IFC files, as well as opening such files from other BIM apps. Pull request #16629

CAM Workbench

Further CAM improvements

  • G84/G74 tapping operations were added. Pull request #8069
  • Multi-pass support was added for profile operations. Pull request #17326

Draft Workbench

Further Draft improvements

  • Support for relative font paths has been added to ShapeStrings. Pull request #17819
  • The Draft Fillet command now works on selected edges, instead of the first edge of selected objects. Pull request #17945 and Pull request #18150
  • The layer menu of the Draft AutoGroup command is sorted alphabetically. Pull request #18172
  • The handling of Links in TechDraw DraftViews was fixed. Pull request #18175
  • The position of the Scale multiplier field in the UI was improved (Draft SetStyle, Draft AnnotationStyleEditor and Draft Preferences). Pull request #18299

FEM Workbench

Further FEM improvements

  • Log verbosity can now be set for Gmsh in the Preferences. Pull request #17699
  • The Second Order Linear property and support for local refinement, previously only available for Gmsh, are now also available for the new Netgen implementation. Pull request #17170
  • Box and elliptical beam section types were added to FEM ElementGeometry1D. Pull request #15843
  • The Purge results tool now deletes all the results objects, not just the ones native to CalculiX. Pull request #18328
  • Tie constraint can now be applied also to shell faces. Pull request #18325
  • Output format (binary or ASCII) and saving of geometry IDs can now be set for Elmer, also in Preferences. Pull request #17972
  • A smoothing option was added to the Contours filter. Pull request #18088
  • The BucklingAccuracy parameter was added to CalculiX solver - it might be necessary to capture the first eigenvalue in some linear buckling analyses. Pull request #18790
  • Now all FEM objects for which suppressing makes sense can be suppressed. Previously only constraints were suppressible. Pull request #18636

Material Workbench

Further Material improvements

Mesh Workbench

Further Mesh improvements

OpenSCAD Workbench

Further OpenSCAD improvements

Part Workbench

Further Part improvements

  • The Check geometry tool now also has results entries for valid shapes, shows skipped objects and generates reports in the report view.

PartDesign Workbench

Further PartDesign improvements

  • The origin feature in a PartDesign body makes use of the new core datums. The appearance has been changed and the planes enlarge when creating a new sketch. As the orientation was wrong in older FreeCAD versions, files created with these versions need to be converted on opening. It can break files which reference the datums, and converted or new files created with (v1.1) will be broken in {{VersionMinus|1.0}}. Pull request #18126
  • The Toggle freeze command is now available from PartDesign. Pull request #18373
  • The Hole feature can now produce various Whitworth threads, following the BSW, BSF, BSP and NPT standards. Pull request #15744
  • The performance of modelled threads from the Hole feature has been improved. Pull request #15744
  • The initial angle for tapered threads in the Hole feature is now automatically set to the value from the ISO 7-1 and ASME B1.20.1 standards. Pull request #15744

Points Workbench

Further Points improvements

Sketcher Workbench

Click on the image if the animation does not start. [Projection](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=Sketcher_Projection) tool was added making it possible to create defining [external geometry](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=Sketcher_External) and toggle between defining and construction modes for external geometry. [Pull request #17736](https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/17736)

+++ | | Intersection tool was added making it possible to create external geometry based on the selected reference geometry and the intersection of the sketch plane. Pull request #17736 | +++

Click on the image if the animation does not start. [External geometry](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=Sketcher_External) (both projection and intersection) can now be created by selecting a face. [Pull request #17736](https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/17736)

Further Sketcher improvements

  • It is now possible to directly use external geometry as input for tools like offset or transform (array), for both external construction and defining geometry. Pull request #17615
  • External geometry (projected or intersecting) is now by default real (defining) geometry (which does not need to be traced as in 1.0 and prior). It can be toggled to construction geometry as any other geometry Pull request #17736
  • The Sketcher axes are now displayed with infinite length. Pull request #17312
  • Sketches are now ordered alphabetically in the Attach sketch dialog. Pull request #16518
  • Group dragging was added, making it possible to drag all the selected geometrical entities. Pull request #18273
  • There is a new preference that, if checked, makes external geometry creation independent of the current construction mode - it is always created as reference geometry in such a case. Pull request #18697

Spreadsheet Workbench

Further Spreadsheet improvements

  • Default shortcuts for Bold text, Italic text and Underline text have been added. Pull request #15556
  • Double-clicking on the separator in the header now resizes the column to content. Pull request #16296
