FreeCAD Scripts

FreeCAD CAD アプリケーション向けの本番環境対応 Python スクリプトを生成するための専門スキルです。3D モデリングタスクの略記法、準コード、自然言語による説明を解釈し、正しい FreeCAD Python API 呼び出しに変換します。

このスキルを使用する場合

• FreeCAD の組み込みコンソールまたはマクロシステムの Python スクリプト作成
• 3D ジオメトリの作成または操作 (Part, Mesh, Sketcher, Path, FEM)
• カスタムプロパティを持つパラメトリック FeaturePython オブジェクトの構築
• FreeCAD 内での PySide/Qt を使用した GUI ツールの開発
• Pivy による Coin3D シーングラフの操作
• カスタムワークベンチまたは Gui Commands の作成
• マクロを使用した反復的な CAD 操作の自動化
• メッシュとソリッド表現の間の変換
• FEM 解析、レイトレーシング、図面エクスポートのスクリプティング

前提条件

• FreeCAD のインストール (0.19 以上推奨; 最新 API は 0.21+/1.0+ が必要)
• Python 3.x (FreeCAD にバンドル)
• GUI 作業の場合: PySide2 (FreeCAD にバンドル)
• シーングラフの場合: Pivy (FreeCAD にバンドル)

FreeCAD Python 環境

FreeCAD は Python インタプリタを組み込みます。スクリプトは以下の主要モジュールが利用可能な環境で実行されます:

import FreeCAD          # Core module (also aliased as 'App')
import FreeCADGui       # GUI module (also aliased as 'Gui') — only in GUI mode
import Part             # Part workbench — BRep/OpenCASCADE shapes
import Mesh             # Mesh workbench — triangulated meshes
import Sketcher         # Sketcher workbench — 2D constrained sketches
import Draft            # Draft workbench — 2D drawing tools
import Arch             # Arch/BIM workbench
import Path             # Path/CAM workbench
import FEM              # FEM workbench
import TechDraw         # TechDraw workbench (replaces Drawing)
import BOPTools         # Boolean operations
import CompoundTools    # Compound shape utilities

FreeCAD ドキュメントモデル

# Create or access a document
doc = FreeCAD.newDocument("MyDoc")
doc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument

# Add objects
box = doc.addObject("Part::Box", "MyBox")
box.Length = 10.0
box.Width = 10.0
box.Height = 10.0

# Recompute
doc.recompute()

# Access objects
obj = doc.getObject("MyBox")
obj = doc.MyBox  # Attribute access also works

# Remove objects
doc.removeObject("MyBox")

コア概念

ベクトルとプレースメント

import FreeCAD

# Vectors
v1 = FreeCAD.Vector(1, 0, 0)
v2 = FreeCAD.Vector(0, 1, 0)
v3 = v1.cross(v2)          # Cross product
d = v1.dot(v2)              # Dot product
v4 = v1 + v2                # Addition
length = v1.Length           # Magnitude
v_norm = FreeCAD.Vector(v1)
v_norm.normalize()           # In-place normalize

# Rotations
rot = FreeCAD.Rotation(FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 1), 45)  # axis, angle(deg)
rot = FreeCAD.Rotation(0, 0, 45)                       # Euler angles (yaw, pitch, roll)

# Placements (position + orientation)
placement = FreeCAD.Placement(
    FreeCAD.Vector(10, 20, 0),    # translation
    FreeCAD.Rotation(0, 0, 45),   # rotation
    FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 0)       # center of rotation
)
obj.Placement = placement

# Matrix (4x4 transformation)
import math
mat = FreeCAD.Matrix()
mat.move(FreeCAD.Vector(10, 0, 0))
mat.rotateZ(math.radians(45))

ジオメトリの作成と操作 (Part モジュール)

Part モジュールは OpenCASCADE をラップし、BRep ソリッドモデリングを提供します:

import FreeCAD
import Part

# --- Primitive Shapes ---
box = Part.makeBox(10, 10, 10)               # length, width, height
cyl = Part.makeCylinder(5, 20)               # radius, height
sphere = Part.makeSphere(10)                  # radius
cone = Part.makeCone(5, 2, 10)               # r1, r2, height
torus = Part.makeTorus(10, 2)                 # major_r, minor_r

# --- Wires and Edges ---
edge1 = Part.makeLine((0, 0, 0), (10, 0, 0))
edge2 = Part.makeLine((10, 0, 0), (10, 10, 0))
edge3 = Part.makeLine((10, 10, 0), (0, 0, 0))
wire = Part.Wire([edge1, edge2, edge3])

# Circles and arcs
circle = Part.makeCircle(5)                   # radius
arc = Part.makeCircle(5, FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 0),
                       FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 1), 0, 180)  # start/end angle

# --- Faces ---
face = Part.Face(wire)                        # From a closed wire

# --- Solids from Faces/Wires ---
extrusion = face.extrude(FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 10))       # Extrude
revolved = face.revolve(FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 0),
                         FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 1), 360)    # Revolve

# --- Boolean Operations ---
fused = box.fuse(cyl)           # Union
cut = box.cut(cyl)              # Subtraction
common = box.common(cyl)        # Intersection
fused_clean = fused.removeSplitter()  # Clean up seams

# --- Fillets and Chamfers ---
filleted = box.makeFillet(1.0, box.Edges)          # radius, edges
chamfered = box.makeChamfer(1.0, box.Edges)        # dist, edges

# --- Loft and Sweep ---
loft = Part.makeLoft([wire1, wire2], True)          # wires, solid
swept = Part.Wire([path_edge]).makePipeShell([profile_wire],
                                              True, False)  # solid, frenet

# --- BSpline Curves ---
from FreeCAD import Vector
points = [Vector(0,0,0), Vector(1,2,0), Vector(3,1,0), Vector(4,3,0)]
bspline = Part.BSplineCurve()
bspline.interpolate(points)
edge = bspline.toShape()

# --- Show in document ---
Part.show(box, "MyBox")    # Quick display (adds to active doc)
# Or explicitly:
doc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument or FreeCAD.newDocument()
obj = doc.addObject("Part::Feature", "MyShape")
obj.Shape = box
doc.recompute()

トポロジカル探索

    1.0, 0.0, 0.0,   # vertex 2
    0.0, 1.0, 0.0    # vertex 3

mesh = MeshPart.meshFromShape(Shape=shape, LinearDeflection=0.1,
                                AngularDeflection=0.5)

# Convert Mesh to Part shape
shape = Part.Shape()
shape.makeShapeFromMesh(mesh.Topology, 0.05)  # tolerance

sketch.Placement = FreeCAD.Placement(
    FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 0),
    FreeCAD.Rotation(0, 0, 0, 1)
)

# Add geometry (returns geometry index)
idx_line = sketch.addGeometry(Part.LineSegment(
    FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 0), FreeCAD.Vector(10, 0, 0)))
idx_circle = sketch.addGeometry(Part.Circle(
    FreeCAD.Vector(5, 5, 0), FreeCAD.Vector(0, 0, 1), 3))

# Constraint types: Coincident, Horizontal, Vertical, Parallel, Perpendicular,
#   Tangent, Equal, Symmetric, Distance, DistanceX, DistanceY, Radius, Angle,

doc.recompute()

Draft モジュール

パラメトリックオブジェクトの作成 (FeaturePython)

FeaturePython オブジェクトは、再計算をトリガーするプロパティを持つカスタムパラメトリックオブジェクトです:

import FreeCAD
import Part

class MyBox:
    """A custom parametric box."""

    def __init__(self, obj):
        obj.Proxy = self
        obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength", "Length", "Dimensions",
                         "Box length").Length = 10.0
        obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength", "Width", "Dimensions",
                         "Box width").Width = 10.0
        obj.addProperty("App::PropertyLength", "Height", "Dimensions",
                         "Box height").Height = 10.0

    def execute(self, obj):
        """Called on document recompute."""
        obj.Shape = Part.makeBox(obj.Length, obj.Width, obj.Height)

    doc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument
    if doc is None:
        FreeCAD.Console.PrintError("No active document\n")
        return

    if FreeCAD.GuiUp:
        sel = FreeCADGui.Selection.getSelection()

FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage("Info message\n")
FreeCAD.Console.PrintWarning("Warning message\n")
FreeCAD.Console.PrintError("Error message\n")
FreeCAD.Console.PrintLog("Debug/log message\n")

一般的なパターン

スケッチからのパラメトリック Pad

doc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument

# Create sketch
sketch = doc.addObject("Sketcher::SketchObject", "Sketch")
sketch.addGeometry(Part.LineSegment(FreeCAD.Vector(0,0,0), FreeCAD.Vector(10,0,0)))
sketch.addGeometry(Part.LineSegment(FreeCAD.Vector(10,0,0), FreeCAD.Vector(10,10,0)))
sketch.addGeometry(Part.LineSegment(FreeCAD.Vector(10,10,0), FreeCAD.Vector(0,10,0)))
sketch.addGeometry(Part.LineSegment(FreeCAD.Vector(0,10,0), FreeCAD.Vector(0,0,0)))
# Close with coincident constraints
for i in range(3):
    sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint("Coincident", i, 2, i+1, 1))
sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint("Coincident", 3, 2, 0, 1))

# Pad (PartDesign)
pad = doc.addObject("PartDesign::Pad", "Pad")
pad.Profile = sketch
pad.Length = 5.0
sketch.Visibility = False
doc.recompute()

シェイプのエクスポート

# STEP export
Part.export([doc.MyBox], "/path/to/output.step")

# STL export (mesh)
import Mesh
Mesh.export([doc.MyBox], "/path/to/output.stl")

# IGES export
Part.export([doc.MyBox], "/path/to/output.iges")

# Multiple formats via importlib
import importlib
importlib.import_module("importOBJ").export([doc.MyBox], "/path/to/output.obj")

単位と量

# FreeCAD uses mm internally
q = FreeCAD.Units.Quantity("10 mm")
q_inch = FreeCAD.Units.Quantity("1 in")
print(q_inch.getValueAs("mm"))  # 25.4

# Parse user input with units
q = FreeCAD.Units.parseQuantity("2.5 in")
value_mm = float(q)  # Value in mm (internal unit)

補正ルール (準コーダー統合)

FreeCAD スクリプトの略記法または準コードを解釈する場合:

1. 用語マッピング: "box" → Part.makeBox()、"cylinder" → Part.makeCylinder()、"sphere" → Part.makeSphere()、"merge/combine/join" → .fuse()、"subtract/cut/remove" → .cut()、"intersect" → .common()、"round edges/fillet" → .makeFillet()、"bevel/chamfer" → .makeChamfer()
2. 暗黙的なドキュメント: ドキュメント処理が言及されていない場合、標準的な doc = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument or FreeCAD.newDocument() でラップ
3. 単位の仮定: 特に指定されない限りミリメートルをデフォルトとする
4. 再計算: 修正後は必ず doc.recompute() を呼び出す
5. GUI ガード: スクリプトがヘッドレスで実行される可能性がある場合、GUI に依存するコードを if FreeCAD.GuiUp: でラップ
6. Part.show(): 迅速な表示には Part.show(shape, "Name") を使用し、名前付きの永続的なオブジェクトには doc.addObject("Part::Feature", "Name") を使用
