FAQ

  • 01. HOW CAN I EARN MONEY BY UPLOADING MY CAD FILES TO FREECADS?

    You can earn ad revenue from your uploaded models. Every file you upload gets its own page with ads, and you receive an 80% share of the revenue generated from that page. The more people view your work, the more you earn.

  • 02. WHEN AND HOW ARE PAYMENTS MADE TO CREATORS?

    Earnings are updated daily and paid every month using the industry standard net 40 system. That means revenue generated in one month is paid 40 days later, directly to your PayPal account.

    Freecads supports a wide range of professional file formats including DWG, DXF, PDF, SKP, RVT, IFC, 3DM, STEP, STP, PLN, DGN, IGS, SLDPRT, FCSTD, IPT, PRT, CATPART, 3DXML, IMODEL, and more. You can upload and download 2D and 3D models across multiple design platforms.
