Illustrator is another software to create different objects from either a laser or a vinyl cutter. The software is more of an art-based software and is another great tool to help turn ideas in your mind into reality. Illustrator is an 2-D designing software. Inventor files can be converted to Illustrator if done correctly. Illustrator has vector imaging which means that pictures created or pasted into illustrator will be clear because a vector image is made from paths versus a raster image, which is made from pixels. This allows you to zoom in on the image without getting blurry.
I have enjoyed and, once again, learned so much about the designing and creation process in this unit. I learned how to use the software Illustrator, and how Illustrator files can be printed using the laser and vinyl cutter. I was then taught how to use the laser and vinyl cutter safely. Also, the steps to applying vinyl decal to something such as a mat board.
