1) Introduction
The goal is sketch the final project using 2D and 3D software and compress images and videos
3) 2D Software
1. Manufacturing & Engineering
- AutoCAD / AutoCAD LT: product design, 2D precision
- SolidEdge (2D Drafting): professional-grade 2D drafting tool for free. Mechanical parts and product schematics
- DraftSight: Works with .dwg files. Engineering teams
- LibreCAD: Open-source. Simple 2D technical drawings
2. Visual Mockups & Concept Design
- Vector Graphics: packaging, labels, or flat icons
- Affinity Designer 2: isometric grids (which make 2D look 3D)
- Adobe Illustrator: branding and packaging. Wrap 2D designs onto photos of 3D products
- Figma: websites, flat products
3) 3D Software
1. Manufacturing & Engineering
- SolidWorks:for mechanical engineering and has a robust simulation tools for professional engineers
- Autodesk Fusion (formerly Fusion 360): versatile tool: cloud, CAD (Design) with CAM (Manufacturing) and CAE (Testing)
- Shapr3d: intuitive tool and produces professional-grade files
- Onshape: CAD platform, works remotely across different operating systems
2. Visual Mockups & Concept Design
- Rhino 8 + Grasshopper: complex products, organic shapes. Grasshopper allows parametric design, creating patterns.
- Blender: CAD model, realistic shot
- KeyShot: industrial designers, materials (metal, plastic, glass) and render
4) Project sketch
Define the 3D software
Modelling the camera
Define a head anthropometry
Export model to Rhinoceros
Sketching the project
Defining the camera
Defining the camera
Defining the camera
5) Image and video compression
a) Image
- A lot of tools
- We used ILoveIMG, TinyJPG
- One option is save with other format
b) Video
- A lot of tools
- We used Veed and Free Convert
- One option is save with other format
6) Final results
- Modelled experimental objetcts/parts of a final project in a 2D and 3D software
- Shown how you do it with words, images and screenshots
- Documented how you compress your image and videos files
- Included your original design files
