Then I copied the line and placed it in a new set of coordinates. I ended up drawing a line, give it a height, and then place it by entering the coordinates of its location. Was to use the clone-function, but even that does not provide enough control over where the lines are located. The only acceptable option I could find in inkscape to make the pattern in a smart way , I have considered using Inkscape to draw the pattern,īut are unsure about if inkscape can make a proper parametric setup that will make the many necessary test cuts easier and faster. To make the plywood-case of the speaker flexible, I need to laser-cut a certain pattern in the wood. Simply choose the edges where a fillet is required, and by what radius. The Fillet function is also to be found under the modify menu. The shell function asks for which surfaces to be removed, and which thickness is wanted for the shell.

The shell function is to be found under the modify menu. Then I defined how many degrees I wanted to revolve the profile, which was 360. The program asked me to define the profile(the 2d sketch),Īnd the line I wanted to revolve about, which was the vertical line. When the 2D sketch was done, I went to the Construct Menu and chose the Revolve-tool. It is easy to give the lines dimension and manipulate the spline. To draw the shape of the cone I had to use both poly-lines and a spline. To try out some of the basic functions, I sat down to draw the cone at the top of my speaker. It has many of the same basic functions as inventor and solidworks have, like Extrude, Sweep, Revolve and Loft.

To make my speaker in CAD I need a software that can handle some complex assembling and also make a 2D layout for the laser-cut plywood-case.ġ23D Design is a really nice free-ware for 3d-modelling. For this week assignment I want to test some different kinds of CAD-software.
