:: Computer Aided Design (CAD)::
This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.
Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the use of computer software to facilitate the generation, modification, and optimization of a part or a compilation of parts. Using software to facilitate part design allows for higher precision, simpler and more accurate design iterations, and comprehensive documentation for part and/or project management. Computer-Aided Design and drafting (CADD), is technology for design and technical documentation, which replaces manual drafting with an automated process.
CAD may facilitate the manufacturing process by transferring detailed diagrams of a product’s materials, processes, tolerances and dimensions with specific conventions for the product in question. It can be used to produce either two-dimensional or three-dimensional diagrams, which can then when rotated to be viewed from any angle, even from the inside looking out.
Few use of CAD is used as follows:
:> To produce detailed engineering designs through 3-D and 2-D drawings of the physical components of manufactured products.
:> To create conceptual design, product layout, strength and dynamic analysis of assembly and the manufacturing processes themselves.
:> To prepare environmental impact reports, in which computer-aided designs are used in photographs to produce a rendering of the appearance when the new structures are built.

Raster images are made up of a set grid of dots called pixels, where each pixel is assigned a color value. Unlike a vector image, raster images are resolution dependent. When you change the size of a raster image, you shrink or stretch the pixels themselves, which can result in a significant loss of clarity and produce very blurry images. Raster programs include Adobe Photoshop and GIMP. |
Vector images are made up of points, lines, and curves that can be infinitely scaled without any loss in image quality. Vector programs include Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and Inkscape. You must use a vector program when designing a logo, and we suggest that you use vector programs for any other print design contest as well. |
