Computer controlled cutting

BACK TO WEELY ASSIGNMENTS

Design, make, and document a press-fit construction kit.

Working on this week's assignments, I tried most of the 2D cad programs; the Gimp, Inkscape and Corel Draw. Having to work on press fit kits I descided to use the Inkscape, which I am not used to. I planned a press fit construction kit based on geometric figures like Circles, Squares, Triangle and Rectangles. 

The Idea behind this constuction kit is to make it possible to be able to make almost any feture from putting the kits together. I ended up using the inkscape in making my drawings and the reasons I chose to use this program is due to it parametric features, which I will be making use of in my drawing.

Below are the steps I went through in constructing the kits:
