WEEK 2:
Computer Aided Design.
This week was held, Computer Aided Design
I have used different types of CAD software including 2D, 3D, raster, animation, simulation.
To vectorize my project I used Coreldraw, using my sketch to determine what my project would look like.
Coreldraw uses it to decrease the pixels of images.
For the 2D design I have used Autocad.
I consider it easy to use software, for 2D drawing it is a good software, files can also be opened with inventor software.
I have used it to make the drawing of my project and project the measurements that my project will have.
3d design
I used solidwords software to draw my project in 3D, it seems to me that it is a modeling software that has all the tools to make the 3D drawings.I started by making the base of the project.

With autocad 3D, I have drawn the solar panel.

I have also explored fusion 360 for 3d drawing, you can export autocad inventor files to fusion 360 software.

The solidworks, has the option to make animations, make the animation of my project.
To edit and compress videos I have used the Debut video capture program
To compress the images use CorelDraw.
