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!

Wood Frame Workbench

This workbench is not actively developed or maintained, but looking for developers and maintainers.

Introduction

A complementary workbench for FreeCAD whose main goal is to provide tools to facilitate the modelling of wooden constructions (frame, timber frame, etc ...). This is a fork from FreeCAD-Timber (Jonathan Wiedemann wood-galaxy), which is no longer maintained.

  • Select and show by attributes.
  • Listing for invoices and production list.

Tools

Wood Frame comes with the following tools:

  • Add a layer to the document: objects added to a layer can share the same visual properties.
  • Add a wood beam. To move insertion point, use the Numpad.
  • Add a wood panel. This tool operates similarly to Add beam, but with panel size restriction. To move insertion point, use the Numpad.
  • Cut an object with a plane.
  • Cut an object with a line with a normal work plane.
  • Copy object: duplicates an element.
  • Stretch tool: select an end of a beam and add or remove to its length.
  • Edit the attributes of existing objects (name, groups, sub-group, material, type...).
  • Select or hide elements in the 3D view by their specific attributes.
  • Create wood beams listing: Generate a Spreadsheet listing of the different materials selected in the 3D view.
  • Edit attributes.
  • Select by attributes.
  • Align camera-view on the current Work plane: Align view from current work plane.
  • Create exporter container: Create volume which contains objects to export, and configure views.
  • Add view to a container for export.
  • Export views to DXF: Export container views in a DXF file.
