About the author

Aleksander Sadowski is the founder of ALSADO, the world’s first company offering professional FreeCAD support in the industry. He is studying mechanical engineering at the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences and has been actively involved in the FreeCAD community for many years. Aleksander is developing a workflow for product development in mechanical engineering, fully composed of open-source-software, including FreeCAD, LibreOffice, PrePoMax and OpenRadioss. Based on that he is developing an open-source-software to make collaboration in engineering teams more accessible to manufacturing start-ups and small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

In the past, Sadowski worked in product safety at the machine manufacturer GROB and at a company, that specializes in developing simulation software for defense applications. He has been collaborating with Altair, the association of German engineers (VDI) and the German space agency (DLR) to promote the use of open-source software in the industry, especially in mechanical engineering, automotive and aerospace. Aleksander Sadowski is the inventor of a safety screw, that he developed with the help of an open-source-workflow.

Through his books, Aleksander aims to reduce the beginner learning challenges and frustration by teaching a systematic process of working with FreeCAD consisting of most-used functions and a standard modeling workflow which he has refined through his years of experience of teaching FreeCAD in a productive and mission-critical environment. The books make this knowledge accessible to everyone, not just the companies.
