Package freecad: Information

FreeCAD will be a general purpose 3D CAD modeler. FreeCAD is aimed directly at
mechanical engineering and product design but also fits in a wider range of uses
around engineering, such as architecture or other engineering specialties.

FreeCAD features tools similar to Catia, SolidWorks or Solid Edge, and therefore
also falls into the category of MCAD, PLM, CAx and CAE. It will be a feature
based parametric modeler with a modular software architecture which makes it
easy to provide additional functionality without modifying the core system.
