A great FreeCAD addon is the Fasteners workbench! Now you can assemble your parts digitally in FreeCAD. By downloading this addon, you automatically have the option to add fasteners to your 3D model in FreeCAD.

When it’s installed, you can choose the Fasteners workbench in the dropdown menu. The buttons will change according to this workbench. Now you can select many types of fasteners to fit into your 3D model.

Check out my videos on the AllVisuals4U channel to learn more about FreeCAD! I’ve been uploading a lot of tutorials there.

Also, i made a video about this. You can see how and where i install the Fasteners workbench in FreeCAD. Then i show you how i add a few fasteners to a 3D model and change them later. Click the video on this page to watch it!

I think a lot of you want to create real modeled threads in free CAD software. I made a tutorial video about this and you can watch it on my channel or below! The software i used in this video is FreeCAD.

I noticed that my current FreeCAD version, 0.19, was not able to create real modeled threads. Then i dowloaded a pre-release version of FreeCAD 0.20 here. It seems that in this version, you can select to model a real thread in 3D, which could be very useful for many users. I used the Hole feature for this.

The video is on the AllVisuals4U YouTube channel. If you want to see more FreeCAD tutorials? I made a lot of them, so if you want to check them out, i would be thankful!

Below, you can watch the video where i show how to make real threads in FreeCAD. It consists of step by step subtitles, a relaxing background tune and some great knowledge!
