Create dynamic 3D models in FreeCAD using spreadsheets, VarSets, expressions, and configuration tables


What you'll learn
Build fully parametric 3D models in FreeCAD using spreadsheets, expressions, and VarSets all without writing a single line of code or script.
Link model geometry to data sources in FreeCAD to create dynamic, responsive designs that automatically adapt to input changes and user-defined values.
Create reusable, flexible components using configuration tables and variant links to streamline complex projects and assemblies in FreeCAD
Apply data-driven design skills to real-world examples that we will build. An adaptive toy bricks, hinged boxes, and custom signs that scale with text input.
Requirements
Basic familiarity with FreeCAD's interface, including navigating the 3D view and using the tree view
FreeCAD installed on your computer
A willingness to learn and experiment with data-driven tools inside FreeCAD
If you're completely new to FreeCAD, we recommend taking our Ultimate Beginner's Course first to cover the essential modeling tools.
Description
Welcome to a practical, beginner-friendly course designed to teach you core skills in creating dynamic, data-driven 3D models using FreeCAD's powerful built-in tools, spreadsheets, expression editor, and VarSets. Whether you're an engineer, designer, maker, or hobbyist, this course will help you embed data directly into your designs to control dimensions, automate behavior, and build flexible models without any coding or scripting.You'll start by mastering the fundamentals of parametric design in FreeCAD, including navigating the interface, understanding variable sets (VarSets) for centralized control, and using spreadsheets to manage model parameters. Using the expression editor, you'll connect data across your model to drive intelligent, adaptable designs.Throughout the course, you'll work on real-world projects created from a beginner's perspective: build a parametric toy brick, a hinged box that adapts to its length, and dynamic custom signs that automatically resize based on the text's height and length pulled from spreadsheets. These hands-on examples will show you how to create smart, reusable components using configuration tables and variant links, making it easy to manage complex assemblies with different variants and visual properties.By the end, you'll confidently create fully parametric FreeCAD models that are easy to update, scalable, and ready for any design challenge. Enroll now and start building smarter, data-driven 3D designs with FreeCAD!
