FreeCAD has a lot of great features to add custom text labels to your designs. It’s possible to engrave text into flat or curved surfaces. I will quickly describe how FreeCAD makes it possible to do this.
In the Draft workbench in FreeCAD, you can create a so called ShapeString. This is where the text will be generated. Together with the Part Design and Curves workbench, it’s possible to create text on (curved and flat) surfaces. After putting text on a surface, you can extrude it or cut it out.
