Assignment 2: Computer-Aided Design
<<<<<<< HEAD First, I started to look around the diversity of alternatives in 2D Design, exploring FreeCAD (I found this program really nice and suitable for me), GIMP, Illustrator (which I already know), Inkscape (this one feels really good to myself), Krita, LibreOffice (I found this one obsolete and awful), and Photoshop (I already know about it, nothing new). As follows you will see a series of screenshots about them (you'll see more of Inkscape and FreeCAD).
When I finished exploring FreeCAD, my next take was GIMP. So here are the results of that.
I use Adobe Illustrator for my design and considering the vinyl measures.

Then I jumped into Illustrator, nothing new, but is a software I use and like a lot.
<<<<<<< HEAD
After that I dived into Inkscape, it surprised me because it was so intuitive to me. Here are some screenshots about it.

After a while I started to see the results.

Later, I tried Krita, but honestly I did not like it at all.
Then came LibreOffice, really awful. So just one screenshot, does not deserve much time on that.
<<<<<<< HEAD
After that Photoshop came, I already knew that software.

Second, I started to look around the diversity of alternatives in 3D Design,
exploring blender (I found this program nice but kind of complex).
I quickly review the Keeter thesis (an interesting one), Matter Machine
(which I falled in love), Sketch Up (very intuitive), Tinkercad (another one I
like it very much) and finally Rhinoceros (in which I applied the assignment #2).
As follows you will see a series of screenshots about them.
=======
So that was my journey on 2D Design softwares. At the end I keep Illustrator, Inkscape, FreeCAD and Photoshop. The rest none.

Laser Cutting
>>>>>>> 7354c90582720f1598c352b254aed365895e28b1
Then I pass through Keeter quite a bit.
<<<<<<< HEAD
After that I start to do the testing (press fit), first on the Trotec Laser Cutting Machine in ESAN FabLab,
later on the UCAL FabLab wit our Trotec Speedy 300.

After that I falled in love with Matter Machine, it's quite amazing program while you're designing you can see the value of the project increase or decrease. That blew my mind and the possibility to reconfigure all the complete project system.
=======
This where my tests on press fit.

Later came Sketch Up, Google program that was very intuitive and still cool for some things.
<<<<<<< HEAD
Later I tried Tinkercad, I feel it just cool and very accesible program for a person who does not ever did some 3D stuff. Still look and feel a kids program.
Rhinoceros I found it more PROfessional, I feel it confortable to me and here's what I experiment for my final project.
For the game engines softwares I test Unreal, found it more user centered, but quite complex.
