+FreeCAD is a general purpose parametric 3D modeler.
+
+FreeCAD is aimed directly at mechanical engineering and product
+design but also fits in a wider range of uses around engineering,
+such as architecture or other engineering specialties.
+
+FreeCAD features tools similar to Catia, SolidWorks or Solid Edge,
+and therefore also falls into the category of MCAD, PLM, CAx and
+CAE. It is a feature based parametric modeler with a modular software
+architecture which makes it easy to provide additional functionality
+without modifying the core system.
+
+ FreeCAD is under heavy development and might not be
+ ready for production use.
