| 1999 to present | Founder, askoh.com Continue developing ‘freeCAD’: 3D CAD with Motion Simulation. http://www.askoh.com 'freeCAD' is a basic 3D CAD with advanced Motion Simulation capabilities. It is suitable for anyone interested in learning for free before using more sophisticated packages. Educators, students and new engineers will find it ideal for the teaching and learning of geometry, kinematics, dynamics, vibrations, mechanisms, linkages, cams, machine design and physics. The program runs on Windows, Macintosh PPC, Linux PC and other Unix's. It is a FREEWARE which is sponsor supported. Releases will be made quarterly.
