On this page I will be posting video tutorials showing how to use the built-in FreeCAD workbench called Assembly.
With these tutorials, you can learn how to model assemblies in FreeCAD.
In assemblies modeled in this workbench, the parts are connected to each other by specifying joints, i.e. parts have limited degrees of freedom of movement.
Since the Assembly workbench has become an integrated FreeCAD workbench for modeling assemblies, I will only post tutorials made with it. I will not publish tutorials made in the external assembly workbenches (A2Plus, Assembly 3 and Assembly 4).
I have grouped the tutorials into the following subcategories
