These are some pictures of the original mockup:įor the redesign of the model I decided to use Autodesk Fusion 360 software. Here there are a couple of renders of the original idea:Īfter designing the CAD model, I built the rocking chair in 5mm Plywood boards by cutting the pieces with a CNC machine.

The first model was designed with Creo Parametric software and rendered with Keyshot. The original idea considered to design a chair out of a sphere by volume substraction turning the chair into a 360 rotation rocking chair. The project was about designing a chair made of plywood pieces, with no glued or screwed joints. Working with preset pen settings or box templates will make much easier to set the drawings into any printing layout.įor this assignment I chose to redesign an old project I worked on 4 years ago. AutoCad (WIN/MAC).I used to work with AutoCad for some space design, or big scale technical drawings to show proportional or scaled views and details.

Also when you need to set a specific image or canvas' size/settings/bitrate. The way of working by layers, folders, and many further specific photo editing tools, makes it such a versatile software to work with. This other popular Adobe software is so useful to me for graphic design, but in this case with raster images or bitmaps.

One of the best tools in this software for me is the image tracer, or the way to turn bitmap images or text into vectorial elements, or rasterizing the way back. Then once the work is over, you can save your file or export it in several formats (ai, jpg, png, svg, dxf, dwg, pdf, eps. You can quickly give your layout settings (depending on the final use, for printing, web, slide, video), so that you can work with different units and working areas. I normally use this software for graphic design, specially to work with vector images such as png files, diagrams, logos, even sometimes to edit technical drawings that are easily scalable and resize any vectorial lines or paths. These are some of the softwares I used specially for product design, technical drawings, mechanical and mechanism testings, renderings and and graphic design (logos, illustrations, schematics). My experience among this field is quite close to different 2D and 3D designing tools. In this second assignment, we are introduced into computer-aided design (CAD).
