IronCAD then cannot extrude a shape that has no closed edges (or overlapping edges, or lone points, or edges that consist of two lines, all of which are problems from Illustrator’s imported files and all of which are included in the image above), meaning all extrusions will fail.
ai files read in Illustrator, they always appear in IronCAD as slightly disjointed.
(this isn’t the exact error message that I received, nor is the part above anything from my actual project however, for visualization purposes, I fabricated an example part that would generate the same error message in IronCAD)Īs it turns out, Adobe Illustrator does not export entirely clean files–no matter how the. dwg formats, which could be imported into IronCAD and then extruded using IronCAD’s helpful extrude feature. Therefore, what would have been a very daunting task became very simple using a simple process of exporting my Adobe Illustrator files into. 183 inch thickness, the thickness of wood that I lasercut.
Because this entire project was laser-cut, all the pieces of my project barring dowels were prisms, meaning I could extrude them directly from my illustrator files to. My initial plan was to import my 2D files that I used to laser cut from Adobe Illustrator into IronCAD, allowing me to extrude the files into three-dimensions. This week, we were expected to make CAD renderings of our midterm projects (found here) using the CAD package of our choice I ended up using IronCAD, a 3D rendering software whose basics we covered in class. This project is brought to you about a week late (with permission) due to a host of unforeseen complications. The good news is that I don’t think I can make a pun on 3D-Printing, so the puns will probably stop.
