This is a quick reminder that the sub­mis­sion dead­line for Q3 2026 grant appli­ca­tions is Sep­tem­ber 1. If you are inter­est­ed in improv­ing FreeCAD and its ecosys­tem, please read more about the pro­gram and apply.

Please keep in mind that typ­i­cal­ly there are mul­ti­ple grant requests every time, and the quar­ter­ly bud­get for the pro­gram is 10K euro.

On a relat­ed note, Mor­gan Allen recent­ly com­plet­ed his grant work and released KiCon­nect 1.0.0, and addon that imple­ments direct data exchange with KiCad so you can pull an updat­ed PCB design into your FreeCAD project while hav­ing both appli­ca­tions open. The addon is avail­able in the Addon Man­ag­er. You can also read Mor­gan’s blog post about the release.

      As am I, fast approach­ing 80 years old.
      The first CAD I used was in 1983. Auto­cad which IIRC came on an 8“disk and I ran it on an S100 bus based sys­tem run­ning CPM. FreeCAD is some­what more capable.…!
