For this week the homework was to develop a 2D and 3D model with a computer aided design program. As far as programs that allow me to develop the construction of a 3D model from a 2D drawing on it, I have experience working with Solid Edge, Catia and recently I am learning Fusion 360. So those are my tools for the battle.
Affinity Photo Raster Editing
Affinity is a professional design suite, its three tools (Photo, Designer and Publisher) stand out for perfect integration and smooth performance in complex projects.
Import and Setup
We import the image of our project, create a layer to be able to manually vectorize the drawing, since there is no option that automatically gives us the vector image.
Raster Editing
Once we have our vectorized image ready, we need to create a new layer to send it to the bottom of our layers, and in this one we can add color.
Check Quality
To export the image, the application gives us 3 options, JPEG, PNG or SVG, the latter is the vector format, no matter how much you enlarge, it will not be deformed. For the file we have the format of AF File (.af)
Export Optimization
We export our file to a PNG format.
Inkscape Vector Graphics
Inkscape is a free, open source vector graphics editor. Specializes in the SVG format and allows you to create anything from logos and diagrams to complex technical illustrations with great precision.
Import and Setup
In Inkscape something very similar to Affinity happens, we open the application and import and embed our image that we want to use.
Bitmap Tracing
And the trace tab, we choose vectorizar Bit map, we open a panel next to us where we can play with the brightness threshold to get a better vectorized.
Node Editing
Once we have the bitmap, we can edit the nodes, to match or modify the quality of these.
Export for Manufacturing
Configure SVG export.
Fusion 360 Parametric CAD
Parametric 3D modeling software for mechanical design and manufacturing.
Constrained Sketch
Create 2D sketch with geometric and dimensional constraints.
Extrusion to 3D
Extrude 2D profile with direction, taper angle, and operation options.
Pattern
Once we have made a new sketch of the selected face and we have already extruded or cut it, we can apply a pattern, so that we do not draw the same thing several times.
Fillet
The option "Fillet" allows us to round objects, this we apply it to all edges of our piece
Onshape 3D Modeling
3D modeling, digital sculpting, and photorealistic rendering software.

Compress Photos Compress JPEG
This website is a free online tool designed to reduce the size (compress) of images in JPEG and PNG format.
Choose your photo
To choose an example photo, I use pixabay a website where you can download images without copyright
Check the size
In downloads, we can approach with the cursor and see the size of the image, or we can enter properties and see their size
Upload to the website
We go to the website "COMPRESS JPEG" upload the image and tell him that we want to compress it, it will take a few seconds and in moments the compressed photo will be downloaded
Check the new size
Once downloaded the photo from the website, we can check in properties, the new size of the image
Lighting Setup
We have the compressed photo and if we realize, it dropped a size of 100kb, not much, but talking about images with greater quality and detail, it will help us a lot.
Compress Videos Free Convert
This website is a free online tool designed to reduce the size (compress) of videos.
Choose your video
To choose an example video, I use a video from Youtube.
Check the size
In downloads, we can approach with the cursor and see the size of the video, or we can enter properties and see their size
Upload to the website
We go to the website "FREE CONVERT" upload the video and tell him that we want to compress it, it will take a few seconds and in moments the compressed video will be downloaded
Check the new size
Once downloaded the video from the website, we can check in properties, the new size of the video.
Final Video Result
In this video, you can see the comparison between the original image and the compressed version, highlighting that the visual quality remains almost identical.
