Mastering FreeCAD 1.1 (2026)- Volume 2: Advanced Part Design and Spreadsheet-Driven Modeling

By Leonard J. Voss

Unlock the Advanced Power of FreeCAD 1.1

You've mastered the basics. Now it's time to design like a professional.

Mastering FreeCAD 1.1 (2026) - Volume 2: Advanced Part Design and Spreadsheet-Driven Modeling is your complete guide to the powerful tools and techniques that separate beginner CAD users from confident designers.

If you've ever wondered how experienced engineers create intelligent, configurable models that update automatically with just a few clicks, this book will show you exactly how.

Through practical examples, full-color illustrations, and real-world projects, you'll learn how to build smarter, more flexible designs that are easier to modify, reuse, and maintain.

Inside You'll Discover

Master expressions and formula-based modeling

Build spreadsheet-driven parametric designs

Create configurable parts that update automatically

Organize complex multi-body models with confidence

Use Shape Binders and reference geometry correctly

Design smooth surfaces and convert them into solids

Import, repair, and modify STEP, IGES, and STL files

Repair meshes and reverse engineer existing models

Prevent topological naming issues and broken references

Complete advanced projects using professional CAD workflows

Why This Book Stands Out

Unlike scattered online tutorials, this guide follows a structured learning path that builds your knowledge step by step. Every chapter expands on concepts introduced earlier, helping you understand not only how to use FreeCAD-but why professional designers use these techniques.

Whether you're designing mechanical components, creating configurable product families, preparing models for manufacturing, or improving your engineering workflow, the skills in this book will help you work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.

Perfect For

FreeCAD users ready to move beyond the basics

Mechanical engineers

Product designers

Makers and hobbyists

Students and educators

CNC and 3D printing enthusiasts

Anyone interested in advanced parametric CAD

Continue Your FreeCAD Journey

This is Volume 2 of the Mastering FreeCAD 1.1 (2026) series.

After completing this volume, continue with Volume 3: Assemblies, Technical Drawings, and Digital Manufacturing, where you'll learn how to assemble complete products, produce professional engineering drawings, generate bills of materials, prepare models for CNC machining, and optimize designs for 3D printing.
