+Overview
+--------
+
+* **Freedom to build what you want**  FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D 
+modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. 
+Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into 
+your model history to change its parameters. 
+
+* **Create 3D from 2D and back** FreeCAD lets you sketch geometry-constrained
+ 2D shapes and use them as a base to build other objects.
+ It contains many components to adjust dimensions or extract design details from 
+ 3D models to create high quality production-ready drawings.
+
+* **Designed for your needs** FreeCAD is designed to fit a wide range of uses
+including product design, mechanical engineering and architecture,
+whether you are a hobbyist, programmer, experienced CAD user, student or teacher.
+
+* **Cross platform** FreeCAD runs on Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems.
+
+* **Underlying technology**
+    * **OpenCASCADE** A powerful geometry kernel, the most important component of FreeCAD
+    * **Coin3D library** Open Inventor-compliant 3D scene representation model
+    * **Python** FreeCAD offers a broad Python API
+    * **Qt** Graphical user interface built with Qt
