GitHub describes it as Official source code of FreeCAD, a free and opensource multiplatform 3D parametric modeler.. The repository metadata lists C++ as its primary language. The metadata lists the LGPL-2.1 license. The README describes the project this way: Freedom to build what you want FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history to change its parameters.

The README section "Your own 3D Parametric Modeler" states: Create 3D from 2D and back FreeCAD lets you sketch geometry-constrained 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects. It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 3D models to create high quality production-ready drawings.

The README section "Your own 3D Parametric Modeler" states: Designed for your needs FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture, whether you are a hobbyist, programmer, experienced CAD user, student or teacher.

The README section "Your own 3D Parametric Modeler" states: Underlying technology OpenCASCADE A powerful geometry kernel, the most important component of FreeCAD Coin3D library Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model Python FreeCAD offers a broad Python API Qt Graphical user interface built with Qt
