Description

Join us for our monthly Portland Area RoboTics Society (PARTS) meeting! This month features an Introduction to FreeCAD presentation along with hands-on time to share projects, troubleshoot, and connect.

Feature presentation: Introduction to FreeCAD

An introduction to FreeCAD, a free and open-source parametric 3D CAD tool. We’ll cover the basics of the interface, sketching and constraints, creating simple 3D parts, and exporting models for 3D printing, laser cutting, or CNC. The focus is on practical workflows so you can start designing your own parts by the end of the session.

What to Expect:

Project sharing: 5-10 minute lightning talks on what you're building
Troubleshooting: Get help with technical challenges from experienced members
Networking: Connect with Portland's robotics community
Open discussions: Exchange ideas on the latest in robotics technology
