Computer-Aided Design


The Academy give us a lot of suggestions on computer-aided design tools.

I work with the graphic editor Inkscape to draw the first sketches, and Gimp to escalate and export to a correct and accepted Academy Archive format all the images of my website.

About 3D design software, I installed Blender and Rhino, I used for some assignments, but finally I decided to work with Solid Works, a really useful tool with which you can make assemblies of several parts, import files from predesigned objects (such as engines) and even run simulations.

The first 3D design model of my hand made with Solid Works, a really powerfull tool.


Another practice designing 3D objects with Solid Works.

Practice with the Rhino tutorial.
