Recently, Linus Torvalds has started to work on a few PCB designs using KiCAD for electric guitar effects. When I saw that, I immediatelly witnessed the opportunity to jump into this project and help out with FreeCAD, turning a PCB into an enclosed device. In this workshop, I will recreate the enclosure, that I designed for that project and create an assembly in FreeCAD, showcasing the interoperability of FreeCAD (mCAD) and KiCAD (eCAD). Everyone who is attending this workshow, is welcomed to follow the steps in FreeCAD.
Aleksander Sadowski has been an active member of the FreeCAD community for many years and is driving the adoption of FreeCAD in the industry.
With the founding of his company ALSADO, he is the first worldwide to offer FreeCAD support specifically for companies in manufacturing. In this role, Aleksander conducts seminars for users, integrates FreeCAD into existing company processes, and develops custom FreeCAD extensions (CAD, CAE, and PLM) to increase business efficiency.
He has compiled his practical experience and expertise in the FreeCAD Beginner’s Starter Kit, a handbook that makes it easy for newcomers to get started. Aleksander regularly shares his knowledge as a speaker at professional conferences, where he talks about the use of open-source software in product development processes.
During his time working at GROB, a machine tool manufacturer in Mindelheim, Germany, he gained in-depth experience in product safety and patent law. Aleksander Sadowski is also the inventor of an innovative safety screw designed for use in machine tools and production systems.
Currently, Aleksander is deepening his technical expertise by studying mechanical engineering at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences.
