cad choice for parametric modeling

[welcome to the machine]

If you don't have to handle sets consisting of a large number of parts and if you don't have to/you can manage the changes you want to make to the objects that you draw, maybe you don't want to go into a cad definitely very performant as sw. if I understood well you look for design of single parts or however of small sets composed by a few dozen details. choose an explicit cad and you will still get good quality surfaces, ready to build prototypes. rhino mathematicians, if engaged on complex surfaces, are not always accurate enough to be poured directly into cam. Obviously my does not want to be a negative judgement for sw, which is becoming the standard for the 3d as it once was autocad for the 2d, but it seems to me to understand that your requirements are not those for which sw was designed.

freecad costs zero and does a little bit of everything. eventually step by step to finish everything.

Yeah, you got it.
we say that in the working environment it happens to find customers with the need for "exact" models so I wanted to devote the right energies without overdoing (read sw).

I'm going to take a look.

Thanks for the tips.

If they both speak English they would understand:

but among those who have read this thread and use rhino... is there someone who can assert "yes, use it and with plugins a and b I can parameterize" or "no, point to anything from immediately why rhino does not speak English"?

In the meantime I continue to grow

I use rhino and solidworks. rhino has no plugin to be parametric. I think they are two complementary programs, and given the cost of rhino, it is a great help where solidworks does not arrive.
regarding the correctness of the surfaces, rhino is great, but you must know how to use it. you can create good and damaged geometries. polysuperfici closed or not.
we use solidworks, but certain things without rhino would be lost. for single design and parts, perhaps it is better than solidworks, at a sixth of the cost
