FreeCAD is a general-purpose parametric 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modeler and a building information modeling (BIM) software application with finite element method (FEM) support. [2] It is intended for mechanical engineering product design but also expands to a wider range of uses around engineering, such as architecture or electrical ...
Girder and Panel building sets. Two beams and one column connected to resemble iron girder construction. Girder and Panel Building Sets were a series of plastic toy construction kits created by Kenner Toys in the mid-1950s. Since then, the building sets have gone in and out of production several times, under a succession of different owners of ...
LibreCAD. LibreCAD is a computer-aided design (CAD) application for 2D design. It is free and open-source, and available for Unix / Linux, macOS, and Windows operating systems. Most of the interface and handle concepts are analogous to AutoCAD, making it easier to use for users with experience in this type of commercial CAD application.
Computer-aided architectural design (CAAD) software programs are the repository of accurate and comprehensive records of buildings and are used by architects and architectural companies for architectural design and architectural engineering. [1] As the latter often involve floor plan designs CAAD software greatly simplifies this task.
For all-purpose 3D programs, see Comparison of 3D computer graphics software. CAD refers to a specific type of drawing and modelling software application that is used for creating designs and technical drawings. These can be 3D drawings or 2D drawings (like floor plans). Title and developer. 2D / 3D or specialty fields. Platform. Latest release.
model/x.stl-binary. Developed by. 3D Systems. Initial release. 1987. Type of format. Stereolithography. STL is a file format native to the stereolithography CAD software created by 3D Systems. [3][4][5] Chuck Hull, the inventor of stereolithography and 3D Systems’ founder, reports that the file extension is an abbreviation for stereolithography.
Building information modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of buildings and other physical assets. BIM is supported by various tools, technologies and contracts. Building information models (BIMs) are computer files (often but not always in ...
A 3D render of a house designed in Archicad. ArchiCAD is an architectural BIM CAD software for Mac and Windows developed by the Hungarian company Graphisoft.ArchiCAD offers computer aided solutions for common aspects of aesthetics and engineering during the design process of the built environment-buildings, interiors, urban areas, etc. [citation needed]
