Computer Aided Design
I used the CAD software, Inventor design and model a container to house the FabISP component. The goal of this project was to design a housing to protect the fragile components of the FabISP. Although I have used other CAD programs in the past, Auto CAD and Corel Draw, I had not used the AutoDesk Inventor software. I plan on becoming more knowledgeable and skilled with this tool. There are seveal reasons why i am using this software, one because we have an academic license and it interfaces well with our 3D printers. I am also planning to use additinal open source tools in the future including FreeCAD and Blender because I am incorporating Ubuntu more and more into my computational machinery.
The Inventor CAD of the ISP Housing was my first attempt to design for prototyping a model. The screen sots of the 2D and 3D lllustrations are below.
