FreeCAD Praised for Enabling Open-Source Research

Original: RE: https:// social.freecad.org/@freecad/11 7433689847234889 God I LOVE # FreeCAD for this sort of cutting edge research

A contributor has written up a research project built with FreeCAD, praising the open-source CAD software for making cutting-edge work possible that proprietary CAD firms would be unlikely to support. The post credits FreeCAD's open nature as the reason such experimentation can happen at all, and the FreeCAD project's own account amplified the write-up to its followers.

Why now: The FreeCAD community is celebrating a concrete example of open-source software enabling research that proprietary CAD tools would not allow.
