2. Computer Aided design¶
This week I worked on 3D and 2D design using Tinkercad and Fusion360 for 3D and Inkscape, Vectr for 2D design. I will try to build some designs as training.
2D design¶
Inkscape¶
Inkscape is a very nice free program for the 2D design, you can create simple logos and animated cartoons with it.
donut¶
- 1-First, I draw 2 circle , big and small one.
- 2- I cutted the small circle to creat a hall. Then I coppied the bigger circle, then made the new one bigger , and cut it a half to made the details of the sauce.
- 3-Changing the corner of the chocolate sauce then changing the color of the donut and the chocolate sauce.
- 4-I Made a stroke for the souce.
- 5-I Made some more details of the donut and add some shade.
- 6- This is the final result. I added some candies.

Vectr¶
“Vectr is a free graphics software used to create vector graphics easily and intuitively. It’s a simple yet powerful web and desktop cross-platform tool to bring your designs into reality. I feel the vectr website was nice to desighn a simple logos.”
crown¶
- 1- drow an oval.
- 2-drow pentagonal shape obove the oval.
- 3-drow a rectangle above the pentagonal.
- 4- Then cut it with subtract.
- 5-drow another oval under the shape and also cut it with subtract.
- 6- drow four oval above then cut it with subtract.
- 7-drow some circle for more details of crown.
- 8-changing the color to black.
- 9-This is the final result.

3D design¶
Tinkercad¶
It’s the first time I use Tinkercad so it was a little hard for me in the beginning but then I feel it was fun and easy.
Panda¶
First, I try to design a panda and I get a nice result.
I used only three shapes to design the panda.
-
- ball for body, head, ears, and eyes.
-
- cylinder for legs and hands.
-
- roof for the nose.

Astronaut¶
- First, I started with the head, so I build two balls, one big and another smaller.
- Then, I tried to make some details in the head of the astronaut. by building another ball to hole the head.
I put the small ball inside the bigger one like this.
- To make the ear of the helmet. I built two flat balls.
- For the body, I made a rectangle and oval shape.
- For the leg, I built three different sizes of rectangles.
- Another two rectangles for some details of the body.
- Copy and rotate the leg.
- Add an episode under the body for some details.
- For the back, I built this shape to add details for the astronaut.
- For the hand, I added two tall rectangles on the sides.
- Added two episodes and two balls.
- Finally, I tried to make some nice details for my astronaut. And here is the final result.

3D model¶
fusion 360¶
Also, it’s the first time that I used Fusion360 but I feel that is so hard to use, it needs more and more practice.
Diamond¶
- 1- I created a sketch and then selected the plane that I wanted.
- 2- I Created an inscribed polygon with edge number edge.
- 3- Go to the solid then Extrude to transfer the shape to 3D, and choose the angle i want.
- 4- Choose the topper area and pull it up.
- 5-Also I waschoose the topper area and pull it up and and put the distance and angle i want.
- 6- I created a plane through three points to draw a triangle using the line tool.
- 7- I Cut the triangle with Extrude.
- 8- I Created a duplicate triangles with a circular pattern.
- 9- Go to bodies, Right click, appearance to change the color and material of the diamond.
