Puzzle Cube Project
STEP 1 - DRAFTING
![](resources/Sketches.jpg.opt660x474o0%2C0s660x474.jpg)
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
![](resources/Sketches%20-%202.jpg.opt751x538o0%2C0s751x538.jpg)
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
![](resources/Green%20Image.jpg.opt477x267o0%2C0s477x267.jpg)
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
![](resources/Puzzle%20Cube%20Image.jpg.opt537x303o0%2C0s537x303.jpg)
Here is a rendered image of the assembled cube from Autodesk Inventor.
STEP 5 - EXPLODED VIEW
![](resources/Exploded%20Image.jpg.opt546x309o0%2C0s546x309.jpg)
This CAD image shows each piece individually as if they have been separated from the final solution (see step 4).
STEP 6 - PROTOTYPE PIECES
![](resources/prototype%20pieces.jpeg.opt523x392o0%2C0s523x392.jpeg)
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
![](resources/prototype%20solution.jpeg.opt635x657o0%2C0s635x657.jpeg)
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.
![](resources/prototype%20box.jpeg)
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!
