This is an introductory tutorial to modeling with the PartDesign workbench in FreeCAD. The purposes of the tutorial are to introduce you to two different workflows for creating a cast part with drafts and rounds. Depending on what other CAD programs you have been using, one or the other might be familiar to you. As a working example we will be modeling a simple bearing holder.
This is the first part of the tutorial. It will use what might be called the 'single body' workflow, using the (simpler) top part of the holder as an example.
Design data
The holder should be able to hold a diameter 90mm bearing with a width of up to 33mm. It will be bolted to the bottom part with two 12mm bolts. There should be a groove on both sides of the bearing able to holder a standard sealing ring.
The holder will be a sand cast with a minimum wall thickness of 5mm, a draft angle of 2 degrees, and a minimum round size of 3mm.
