Multithreading
This is a stub that needs expanding.
Multithreading in FreeCAD
- Some 3rd party libraries do some multi-threading like the CAD kernel OCC for boolean operations or the tessellation to create a display mesh from the model.
- The Eigen3 library which is heavily used for the Sketcher also supports multi-threading. (source)
