The ground state masses and binding energies of the nucleon, lambda0, lambdac<FONT FACE=Symbol>+</FONT> , lambdab0 are studied within a constituent quark QCD-inspired light-front model. The light-front Faddeev equations for the Qqq composite spin 1/2 baryons, are derived and solved numerically. The experimental data for the masses are qualitatively described by a flavor independent effective interaction.
