Hi all FreeCAD Users !
During holidays I was talking about FreeCAD with a friend and he was curious to know if an open-source project like that is used by professional mainly, or by hobbyist.
Indeed by pure curiosity I also wanted to know ... could be interesting

Re: POLL - What are you using Freecad For?
would you mind to add:
for ECAD and MCAD collaboration? (between i.e. pcb design (KiCAD) and mechanical design (FreeCAD))
Thanks

My "other" use of FreeCAD is: as a Py console/explorer, for science!

STEP-Viewer with measurement tools (Manipulator Tools), Preparing Parts for meshing with Defeaturing (Remove engraved geometries) and of course FEM.

I use FreeCAD for CNC milling.

I wanted to make this poll also on the freecad facebook page, but it allowed me only two options... well, maybe the result is interesting nonetheless: https://www.facebook.com/FreeCAD/

Indeed I should have proposed a list of "proposal" before creating the poll... but, as there is no data analytcs behind that not a big deal.
I'm already impress by the professional use. I thought it will be closer to 5 % of the use case.

I voted other.
I use FreeCAD for hobby projects, my friend has a 3d printer. I also use FreeCAD for the sake of FreeCAD, being involved and watching the project grow is a hobby in and of itself.
I also use FreeCAD at work. We use SW, the ME/Designers have dedicated seat licences, the rest of us share some floating network licences. Demand far exceeds supply. I use FreeCAD, the ME/Designer's are perfectly happy with my step models, they re-model our crappy SW models anyway.
