1. Computer Aided Design¶
In this weeks session we started computer aided designs. We were given a brief introduction into the next couple of sessions and what will be asked of us. In this intro class we played around in free online softwares to just get a grasp on these softwares. I used Web Sketchup and cuttle to just design a few shapes for designs purposes.
We also made an account on Sketchfab which is an online software where we can input our 3D model and transfers it into a link that can be added into out fablab website, it will generate a video that can be played and showcased on the website.
For the following class we were asked to download and make an educational account on Fusion 360 and cuttle. Both softwares will be used for the following week when we will start 3D printing and laser cutting.
Cuttle is an online software that can design any illustration with the means of shapes, texts and any graphic design. While Fusion is a software that can generate 3D designs that can be created from scratch. We were given a lecture about how to use cuttle followed by a demonstration from one of our mentors about how to use Fusion 360. While using cuttle we created a pattern and design to our liking by following the provided tools within the website. During the Fusion 360 demonstation, a desk was designed from scratch as seen in the images attached below.
We were given the freedon to design whatever we desired in cuttle and fusion 360 as long as it is something for us, or relating to whatever we wanted to do for the final project.
FUSION 360 STEPS:
-
We installed the application on our personal laptops
-
At the tool bar youll see all the utilities that you will be using the most, Click on Create then create skecth to start a new design at a specfic plane.
-
We designed a students desk, so select the rectangle object to be drawn on the selected plane, we extruded it for the tables thickness.
-
Create new skecth on the bottle plane of the rectangle and draw the legs of the table before extruding it
-
After extruding the legs, create new sketch on the side to create an opening that we will push out to delete
-
Add a cup holder by creating another skecth and using the cirle tool, if youre not satisfied with the cirle like, modify it by seleting filet to smooth it out
-
Add text, by creating a sketch, at the tool bar we select the text option, we added out name and extruded in to make it engraved on the top plane of the desk.
For the following 3 sessions, the class was divided into two groups, The first group was assigned the 3D design segment of the course and, the second group were deligated to use the CNC machine and laser cutting. The following week the groups will switch.

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
}
