## What it is
A community-maintained library of 3D part models for FreeCAD, provided in .FcStd, .stp, and optionally .stl formats. It is a large (~5 GB) collection of parametric parts intended to be used as a parts repository within FreeCAD.

## Use cases
- find reusable 3d parts for freecad models
- download a library of parametric cad parts
- share my freecad models with the community
- get standard mechanical parts for cad design
- browse 3d models in step and stl formats

## When to choose
- you use FreeCAD and want a large collection of ready-made parametric parts
- you want to contribute or reuse community CAD models under CC-BY 3.0

## When to avoid
- you cannot afford a multi-gigabyte download or long addon-manager freezes
- you need parts for CAD software other than FreeCAD without conversion
- you need permissively licensed or warranty-backed commercial part libraries

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, simulation, developer-tools
- domain: simulation, cross-platform, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: freecad, cad, 3d-models, parts-library, community-contributed, cc-by, desktop
