2. Computer Aided design¶
This week I worked on defining my final project idea and started to getting used to the documentation process.
“Computer aided design (CAD) is a method of creating 2D drawings and 3D models of real-world products before they are ever manufactured. In this week I worked on exploring different 2D and 3D design softwares.”
2D Design¶
Cuttle¶
Cuttle is a design tool for cutting machines like laser cutters, digital die cutters, and CNC routers. It combines the vector editing capabilities of tools like Illustrator and Inkscape with the power of parametric CAD and programming.
Step 1: I changed the measurement from cm to mm.
Step 2: I put moon and two circle.
Step 3: I drew a circle and repeated it by the rational repeat tool as shown in the image below
3D Design¶
“3D design refers to using software to create a digital model of a three-dimensional shape or object. Organizations and professionals across industries use 3D design to communicate ideas, create products and customer experiences, teach concepts, and more.”
Fusion 360¶
“Fusion 360 is a 3D based modelling software, capable of modelling, simulation, and documentation. It was developed by AutoCAD in 2013, and is a cloud-based system with a top-down approach. This means that it allows the users to create larger structures, which are then broken down into smaller components.”
One design I tried to make in fusion 360 was a red block toy. Designed after following the tutorial from YouTube.

Tinkercad¶
Tinkercad is another 3D modeling program, and it is known for its ease of use.

Code Example¶
Use the three backticks to separate code.
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
