I presented FreeCAD at Bosch in Stuttgart - on 1.1 release day, teaching inventors becoming manufacturers using a fully open-source workflow with concrete examples, consisting of @FreeCADNews , @prepomax , OpenRadioss and @LibreOffice.

this applies a fixed preload without the need of additional springs or tooling (circlip pliers)
FreeCAD at renowned engineering conference alongside Dassault Systemens, PTC (Creo) and Siemens. Glad to inspire industry veterans to embrace open-source tools like @FreeCADNews, @prepomax, OpenRadioss, and @LibreOffice.

I will be presenting about open-source-software in the product development process, including @FreeCADNews , @LibreOfficeDE, @prepomax and more. This time at the leading engineering conference "Konstruktionsleiter-Forum 2025" on October 15th in Würzburg, Germany.

I presented FreeCAD to executives from Dassault Systèmes!
With our FreeCAD-based startup, I showed at an international conference in automotive, how open-source can be used for doing crash simulations using FreeCAD, PrePoMax, OpenRadioss and ParaView. @FreeCADNews@prepomax
Yesterday, we designed and simulated a mars rover using a fully open-source workflow, consisting of #FreeCAD, #PrePoMax, #OpenRadioss and #ParaView.
Surprisingly, all workshop participants were able to finish their own simulation by the end of the day.
