2. 2D & 3D DESIGN

This week we worked with two new 3D design programs for me, but not only that, but they also gave us options to work on 2D design, which I found interesting since I'm getting out of my comfort zone.

Learning

For the activity, in the 2D area I made the sketch of my project in clean, contemplating basic parts, a sketch not very detailed that will help me to consider changes and new elements.

This sketch was made in Inkscape, which you download for free online, it is a program that allows us to create graphic objects for which it includes different tools for drawing, shape, text, even allows us to embed images that can be treated in the program, as well as has a tool to create patterns and use clones. This program is quite friendly and intuitive, it looks a lot like Illustrator, you can create from scratch or import works to complement your work.

In the case of 3D design, the first one I downloaded was Solid Works, I read the installation manual, downloaded it, installed it and started doing some exercises to get to know it and see how the tools work.

Later I registered to use the fusion 360 program, I didn't know this program either, but I liked it, it is a bit related to Solid, both are very good at working exact measurements and that our pieces come out with less error possible.

Here we learned how to make parametric models, this means that they are 100% scalable, as long as the tools are worked properly.
