In this video, we compare FreeCAD and Onshape for simple modeling and assembling of a mechanical part, with a special focus on adding bolts and components. I’ll guide you through the steps of modeling our clamp using common techniques in both software, followed by an assembly of a M5 bolt.
You’ll discover the differences and similarities between the two tools, particularly in terms of assembly features, fastener management, and workflow flexibility. All this, with practical tips to help you better understand the strengths of each software.
