Hand drawn sketches are important: capture ideas and communicate them.

Projects: they're all about ideas:•

Do NOT get a bunch of blocks at home and pile them together to figure out your puzzle.

We're trying to train your mind to visualize in 3D.

We need to learn to design using our minds because only simple things can be built through trial and error.

The puzzle: you will create a unique solution in your mind.

Your five parts must have a total of 27 cubes for your puzzle to work.

No part can be more than 3 cubes long in any direction.

Your sketch needs to remind you how the pieces will go together

Put your name on the sketch in case you lose it.

NOTES

Now that you have a design, its time to test if it will work.

We will use the Inventor software to simulate the shapes of our cube puzzle parts. Then we will put the pieces together in Inventor to make sure

everything fits.

Open a Part file.a)

Wooden cubes are 0.75 inches on a side [2 cubes = 1.5 inches, 3 cubes = 2.25 inches].

b)

Each puzzle piece is a separate Inventor Part file. Each Piece should be made a different color.

c)

R:\ProjectLeadTheWay\Students\your name◊

Save your Parts in the R:\\ drive in the your folder (or in your documents folder on the H: drive if the R: drive is not yet available to

you).

d)

Making parts in Inventor

Once you have made all five of your parts in Inventor:

You may open an assembly file, place your component parts in the file, and 3D constrain them together using mate and flush.

For more assistance, open the Inventor help screen, and search for any of the words underlined in bold letters.

1.

Collect the parts in one assembly file.

Each pair of parts part will need to be joined using some combination of three mate or flush constraints.

When a part is completely constrained to the cube assembly, it shouldn’t move.

Assembling the cube

If you have extra time, edit your cube puzzle parts to have 5 interlocking (complex) pieces and color each part differently.
