I haven't looked for awhile but the documentation was lacking when I first got into it. Steep learning curve but thankfully with YouTube.

The software is parametric meaning you can adjust dimensions and update the model, ability to create assemblies. Price (free), functionality: solid modeling (not just a collection of lines, arc and circles), features, (eventual) ease of use, ability to create.

FreeCAD has been a Godsend for developing and evaluating my ideas and I would definitely recommend it if you are a small business with minimal or no budget for expensive CAD software. I have designed/built a semi-automatic machine for my production and have several 3D printed tools used in that machine. Initially it was a steep learning curve but with the abundance of videos on YouTube and perseverance I am now quite adept at using it. FreeCAD is a large project with many contributors working on code, graphics, documentation, packaging, and support. I used my outdated copy of AutoCAD for years until I discovered FreeCAD 5 or 6 years ago. I used Pro/ENGINEER in the early 90's and it was such a wonderful leap over AutoCAD but hugely expensive.
