3. Computer Aided design

REVIEWING SOME SOFTWARE TO BE ABLE TO WORK IN 2D AND 3D TO IMPLEMENT THE PROJECT, AND OVERCOME THE DOCUMENTATION PART.

MODELADO 2D

“with the inkscape program that allows me to improve the image to make my logo for the project, it is a new driver for all the design, mostly automation and electronics management. Go ahead and give him the challenge..”

“Once the inkscape program was installed on my laptop, I began to review its commands, its benefits to carry out the traced work.” “the work tools are very friendly, which can be achieved by practicing”

inkscape V1.1 “MODELADO 2D”

Configuration with which measure we are going to work, display unit: “mm”, then the page where we are going to print: “A4 page size”, the orientation of the paper in: “Horizontal”.

Figure 1

To obtain an image, we click on the “file” ribbon, then “import”, select the image where the folder is located, select it and click “open”, a window appears like this in the image, do not make any changes and you click on “ok”.

Figure 2

using the circle tool, (left side), and select the colors with the color bar at the bottom, and you can select the fill as the stroke (image perimeter), with the “A” tool, we insert text. (fig.3 y fig.4)

Figure 3 “insert circle and text”

Figure 4 “figure fill and stroke”

We insert another object with the star and polygon tool and select the number of corners we need, for our image we select 6 corners.

Figure 5

grouping all the objects to make a single image, at the top we click the “group selected objects” icon.

Figure 6

SketchUp Pro 2022 “MODELADO 3D”

It is a test program, “SketchUp Pro 2022”, very friendly to work with, the figures are made in 2D and then with push / pull we convert it into 3d as simple as that.

“It is a test program, “SketchUp Pro 2022”, very friendly to work with, the figures are made in 2D and then with push / pull we convert it into 3d as simple as that. I was designing the structure of my project, the bases and the circles where the proximity sensors and on/off buttons will go, the base of the motor and where they will connect to the controller that will be designed in the following week”.
