In this episode I'm showing how I use FreeCAD to cut pieces out of sheet goods, such as plywood, MDF or even wooden panels. I used the parametric approach for defining the board, which means I can change the values in the spreadsheet and the sheet updates automatically.
I define the boards or shapes (you can cut any shape you want) that I want to cut in a separate sketch, making the workflow easy and repeatable.
