Welcome to this in-depth FreeCAD 1.0 tutorial, where we explore multi-body modelling using the Part Design Workbench. Our first lesson of ths chapter we will introduce the SubShape Binder tool. In this beginners step-by-step guide, you'll learn how to create a parametric box enclosure with a functional snap-fit lid, perfect for 3D printing
🚀 What You’ll Learn in This FreeCAD Tutorial:
✅ Multi-body modeling for designing independent yet connected parts
✅ Using the SubShape Binder tool to reference existing geometry
✅ Creating a parametric enclosure (box) with separate bodies
✅ Designing a snap-fit lid with tolerances and clearances
✅ Applying sketching, padding, pocketing, and mirroring
✅ Using section views, transparency, and visualization tools
By the end of this tutorial you will have the knowledge needed to create your own Custom enclosures & electronics housings and have an overview of how to create snap-fit joints & interlocking parts using multiple bdy containers in FreeCAD's part design workbench
