FreeCAD Full Project for Beginners: Part Modeling, Assembly Constraints & Motion

In this beginner-friendly tutorial, we’ll model a belt roller support, build the assembly, add constraints, create an exploded view, and even simulate the roller motion — all in 20 minutes.

This video is perfect if you just started learning FreeCAD and want to understand how the whole process fits together, from creating individual parts to making them move inside an assembly.

Timeline:
Install FreeCAD 1.1 0:55

Pad/Extrude 03:45
Pocket 06:17
Chamfer 08:21
Create the roller 09:33
Create a assembly 13:40
Add constraints(Fixed joint, Revolute joints, Cylindrical Joint, Distance joint, Parallel joint) : 15:28
Generate a simulation for rotation 21:07
Create a explode video 22:01

🔧 What You’ll Learn in This FreeCAD Beginner Project
Part Design (Modeling the Components)
1. Sketching the base, roller, bracket,
2. Using Pad, Pocket, Hole, and Chamfer tools
3. Managing bodies in the Part Design Workbench

Assembly
1. Creating a new assembly file
2. Inserting the parts/bodies
3. Applying constraints such as: Fixed joints, revolute joints, cylindrical joints, distance joints

Exploded View: How to quickly create a clean exploded view for presentations or documentation

Motion Simulation: Setting up simple rotation to simulate the belt roller movement
