About FreeCAD

FreeCAD was started by Jurgen Riegel, with Werner Mayer and Yorik van Havre among its main authors, and its first release dates from October 2002. It is licensed under the LGPL and built on open-source libraries including Open CASCADE Technology. Version 1.0, released on 18 November 2024, added a new assembly workbench and a fix for the long-standing topological naming problem, alongside a refreshed logo.

In November 2021 FreeCAD administrators and core developers created the FreeCAD Project Association (FPA), an international non-profit association (AISBL) seated in Belgium. The FPA owns the FreeCAD trademark, collects donations and funds development grants.
