You must use a programme that uses vectors. Some examples are listed below:<\/h4>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1644502928\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2067410411\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3>Adobe Illustrator<\/h3>\n<p>This comes with Adobe Creative Suite, a package many designers are happy to fork out for. Other components of this package, Adobe InDesign and Photoshop in particular, also let you work with vectors quite comfortably.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/illustrator.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.adobe.com\/products\/illustrator.html<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Autodesk<\/h3>\n<p>Autodesk is a well-known software company famous for its AutoCAD package. Its software is expensive but comes with a wide choice of tools and options. Autodesk also sells the Graphic programme, suitable for iPad and Mac, at the vastly more affordable price of \u20ac29.95. This gives you a \u2018light\u2019 version of AutoCad\/Illustrator that still has decent basic capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/graphic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/graphic.com<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Inkscape<\/h3>\n<p>Available as a free download for Mac and PC. A great starter package if you haven\u2019t yet bought a dedicated drawing programme.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inkscape.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/inkscape.org\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Quark XPress<\/h3>\n<p>This programme enjoys a good reputation within the graphics industry. It is widely used to create lay-outs for magazines and other printed materials. You can arrange text with it as well as images but Quark XPress mainly works in a two-dimensional way. If you want to design a lampshade, for example, you are better off using different software.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.quark.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.quark.com<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8<\/h3>\n<p>A multifunctional package that we at Eight Arms use quite a lot. The Student Version has lower functionality but is also quite a bit cheaper. In principle, you are only allowed to use this version at home to support your studies.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.coreldraw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.coreldraw.com<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-926675917\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-2041315951\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-1169717071\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-1169717071 {\n  padding-top: 32px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-393824605\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1160183395\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_610909795\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/eightarms.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/templatemaker-example-02.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eightarms.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/templatemaker-example-02.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eightarms.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/templatemaker-example-02-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_610909795 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1678829006\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1651308203\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/eightarms.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/templatemaker-example-01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eightarms.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/templatemaker-example-01.jpg 600w, https:\/\/eightarms.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/templatemaker-example-01-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1651308203 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Learn and be inspired<\/h3>\n<p>Het stikt van de websites en softwarebouwers die je kunnen helpen je project n\u00f3g beter en innovatiever te maken.

Beware: it takes a bit of time to master this app. YouTube is your friend. Once you have got to grips with it, you can use 123D Make to transform your 3D design into a file, ready for laser cutting or CNC moulding. Do you prefer a folded design? This app can do that too.
