Puzzle Cube Project

STEP 1 - DRAFTING

This is a photo of my first sketches.  It is the planning for many possible cube combinations ranging from three to six cubes. 

STEP 2  - PLANNING and DESIGNING

 This is the second step of my sketching.  I showed the different layers of the puzzle cube, the individual parts, and what the final solution would look like.

STEP 3  - CAD MODELING OF PUZZLE PIECES

Here is a rendered image of the first of the five puzzle cube pieces created in Autodesk Inventor.  The goal of this is to provide a realistic image, so the part file is placed in a realistic environment is in perspective view.

And here are the rest of them! 

      

        

STEP 4 - ASSEMBLY 

Here is a rendered image of the assembled cube from Autodesk Inventor. 

STEP 5 - EXPLODED VIEW  

This CAD image shows each piece individually as if they have been separated from the final solution (see step 4)

STEP 6 - PROTOTYPE PIECES 

This is a photograph of the final pieces.  They are painted and slightly sanded for a perfect finish.  Please note that the colors of the computer-drafted pieces are not the same as these here.  The virtually-designed pieces were colored random colors for distinction only.

STEP 7 - PROTOTYPE SOLUTION 

Now this is a photograph of the final solution!  All of the pieces fit nicely and it is ready to be stored in the container for distribution.

This is a photo of our box for the puzzle cube.  It is perfected for our cube and it is made so it is ready to be sold today!

 STEP 8 - OUR GROUP IN ACTION 

Here are pictures of my partner , Paul, working! Our group makes sure that we put a lot of work into our project and we are keeping up with what has to be done.  We also not only use the computer for sketches, but for CAD as well.
