FreeCAD vs. Inventor

What is FreeCAD?

FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler primarily developed for the design of real objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows users to easily and quickly change their design by going back to the model history and modifying the parameters. FreeCAD is a highly customizable, extendable, multiplatform (Windows, Mac, and Linux) software. It reads and supports many open file formats such as STEP, IGES, STL, SVG, DXF, OBJ, IFC, DAE, and many others, making it seamlessly integrate into the workflow.

What is Autodesk Inventor?

Autodesk Inventor is a 3D CAD software that offers professional tools for mechanical design, documentation, and product simulation. It is aimed at users who design complex and individual products, devices, and systems. The software offers a powerful combination of parametric, direct, freeform, and rule-based design functions. Pricing varies depending on the duration of the subscription and is at $ per month, $ per year, or $ for 3 years.
