## Week 5 - Using Design Tools
## Week 5 - CAD for Constructables 2
In this second part of CAD for lasers we learn how to design and create perfect joints and attachment points in our constructable objects.
* Plan and create connection points
* Design parametric features
Concepts Covered:
* Cloning
* Sub-object Shape Binder
* Transforms
* Learn to incorporate files made in design tools like Inkscape into CAD
* Work with text in CAD
* Work with Vector files (Illustrator, Inkscape)
* Work with STEP files (Rhino, Fusion 360, Solidworks)

**Exercise - TTL Sign**
**Project Pt 2:** Using Base Model - Building up from the base model, create and produce a fully functional, completely customizable box.
Learn how to prepare interchange files for success in CNC milling. Create and cut the TTL sign by working with SVG files.
**Exercise - Dice Tray**
Given a dice-tray model created in Fusion, create the CAM paths necessary to cut it out with the Omni mill using FreeCAD.

### Final Assignment - Cleat Wall Organizer
Using what you have learned and a template, create a cleat-wall organizer that youll be able to arrange and mill on your own. Book a time to review and cut the assignment!
**Project Paper Lantern:** Create a paper lantern. Working between CAD and Lightburn, produce a papercraft lantern complete with attachment points and fold lines.
