    FreeCAD is amazing! I’ve used it to design and print several small parts for my car, and some other things.

    I’m very excited to see developments in this, and I hope it reaches the Blender mythic for modeling. ❤️

      Definitely would be nice to have a competitive alternative to softwares in this space that cost thousands of dollars per year.

    They already settled with the first logo form the image. They use it on their site and on their Mastodon presence already.

    From the available finalists this is the best logo in my opinion. It is recognizable in various sizes, in black and white, as outline, as silhouette, and looks different from the previous one but not wildly different, so the established CI stays intact.
