Spike: FreeCAD

[Physlex]

Overview

I know roughly what FreeCAD is, but I have yet to actually sit down and study it. Should probably get around to doing it.

Description

I've heard this thing is blenders mature-yet-fussy cousin. Well, considering blender is already fussy that kind of concerns me. Regardless, we should be able to make something of it. I'm assuming this shouldn't take that long, maybe a couple of evenings?

Possible Solution

Figure out the mechanical design workflow including:

1. Drafting
2. Material Selection
3. Part Construction
4. Assembly
5. Simulation

Acceptance Criteria

Documentation and (ideally) at least one part consisting of each of these steps. Ideally at least two parts are constructed, materially chosen, assembled and simulated with both stress testing and dynamics testing.
