Computer-Aided Designing Assignment

1. Modelled Experimental Part of a Final Project in 3D Software

For this assignment, I chose to design a enclosure for my final project. The design process involved the use of solidworks for 3D modeling.

Steps for 2D Design:

Opened solidworks and created a new drawing file.
Set the units to millimeters.
Used the Rectangle tool to draft the basic shape of the enclosure.
Added dimensions using the Dimension tool to ensure precision.

Steps for 3D Design:

Used the Extrude tool to convert the 2D sketch into a 3D model.
Added Fillets to smoothen edges.
Applied material and rendered the design for visualization.

3. Compressed Images

To ensure the files are optimized for sharing, I compressed the images :

Image Compression:

Used Compresspng to compress image files without significant quality loss.
Reduced resolution for web use.
