3. Computer Aided design¶

Assignment¶

model (raster, vector, 2D, 3D, render, animate, simulate, …) a possible final project, compress your images and videos, and post it on your class page

Idea¶

First of all, I run the rule over tool software which are listed on the Fab Academy Web site. Then I decided to focus potential programs to model parts of my final project such as stand, sample material (red), weight.

GIMP¶

GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) is raster graphics editor software and is available for Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows. GIMP is free and open-source software (FOSS). You can download it Official website of the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP)

Import formats:

Export formats:

Step 1: I opened GIMP

Step 2: First I created a new image by licking File .. > New.. >

Step 3: I chose to template A4 landscape

Step 4: Then I created layers for every objects by choosing from ribbon Layer > New Layer

Step 4: Then I started to draw objects to right layer by using Rectangle select tool.

Step 5: I clicked first corner (at the same time holding left mouse button down), dragging to opposite corner and released left mouse button.

Step 5: Then I chose colour to object from tool by clicking The active foreground colour.

Step 6: Then I chose Stroke selection… to approve object.

Step 7: Then I released selection of object by clicking Select > None

Step 8: Now I got my first object.

Step 9: I drew same way rest of objects

Step 10: I used Bucket Fill tool to filling sample object

Step 11: Then I named object by using Text Tool

Step 12: At the rest I save file GIMP format by using Save As.. >

Step 13: I exported file to jpg format by using File > Export As …

Inkscape¶

Inkscape is vector graphics editor software and is available for Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows, Inkscape is free and open-source software (FOSS). You can download it Official website of the Inkscape.

User Interface

Step 1: First I created sheet by clicking File > Name from Template…

Step 2: I selected a4 and horizontal orientation.

Step 3: Then I got A4 horizontal template sheet. After that I start to drew objects. First I drew stand plate by using Create rectangles and squires. I just clicked rectangles opposite corners and that’s was.

Step 4: I chose colour to object by clicking bottom colour ribbon.

Step 5: I made rest of objects same way.

Step 6: Then I named object by Create and edit text objects.

Step 7: I picked right position to text and I wrote text.

Step 8: At the rest I saved file to .SVG format

FreeCAD¶

FreeCAD is parametric 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modeler and a building information modeling (BIM) software with finite element method (FEM) support and is available for Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows. FreeCAD is free and open-source software (under the LGPLv2+ license). You can download it Official website of the FreeCAD

User Interface

Step 1: First I chose to workbench Part Design. Then I created a new file by clicking Create new…

Step 2: I clicked Crete body and then Create Sketch

Step 3: I got request to select plane.

Step 4: I selected XY_Plane.

Step 5: Then iI was ready to model objects. First I started to model stand plate by using Create a rectangle in the sketch.

Step 6: I decided that sketch should be symmetric in axle X. I used Create a symmetry constraint between two points with respect to a line a third point. I clicked corner points and axle X.

Step 6: Then gave dimensions to sketch by using Fix the horizontal distance between two points or Line ends and Fix the vertical distance between two points or Line ends.
