Week Two: Computer-Aided Design
Final 2D design
used aproximately 30 squares to get the shape
I used a Custom font called Neuropol for the brand name.
2D Design
This is also my first time using a program like Inkscape, I made a bitten 8-bit-style donut for my logo company and made the name with pun intended.
The way I modeled was not the smartest way baceuse of the time left I had to learn some more, but in the end the final result was what I desired to be.
Sorry I did not take any pictures for the 2D assignment, but basically what I did was by trial and error(lots of them), I used a grid page and drew an square, after that I used small squares to give the big square the 8-bit shape of a bitten donut.
Details:
- Inkscape
- Lots of Patience
After playing with Inkscape and finishing with the 8-bit donut, I decided to go for something more serious and take an idea of a logo I had since a long time and follow the same trait to create the logo for my final project, in the updated version of the sketch the logo is already implemented.

3D Design
Antimony is a computer aided design (CAD) tool and is still under active development. Is a free and open sourced 3D CAD application that offers a unique approach to modeling.
At my first try I was a little lazy and tried to do a 3D donut the same way I did in 2D, but then again, I felt like I was not doing good enough, so I came up with the casing model for the main board that is going to go on top of the arm.
Some part of the model are parametric, I could not do it for all the pieces because I still lack of the necessary skills to come up with it.
Other mistake I encountered myself with, was the size of the model in Antimony, I thought the measurements were in centimeters but they were in millimenters, but the good thing was that once I export the file in .stl and go to the CURA software I can scale it by ten time to get to the intended size.
