FreeCAD.

And also reading the book on Modern Manufacturing Techniques by Groover.

I work as a Software Engineer but somehow I haven't had the itch to write any personal software or work on side projects for some time now. Looking to expand my toolset and get my creative side going again in a new space.

Are you aware of python first libraries like build123d and cadquery? build123d has an improved API over cadquery, excellent docs and no dependency on conda. Best tool for modern parametric python CAD.

No. I'll check it out once I get comfortable with FreeCAD. Thanks
