Computer-aided design software, namely FreeCAD, enables three key features in OpenAFPM, open-access online design tools for locally manufactured small wind turbines: (1) a 3D web-based visualization, (2) laser-cutting flat steel and plywood parts, and (3) construction information such as dimensions and part count. FreeCAD’s open-source license allows anyone with a modern computer to inspect, extend, and modify the model.
