Extrude-Taper

Extruded objects can be given positive or negative taper angle. A common example of a tapered extrusion is the design of an ice cube. The sides of the ice cube are tapered with a draft angle to allow the cube to be easily removed from the ice cube tray.We extruded the square a distance of 1 inch with a taper angle of -10°.

circular pattern

The pattern function allows the user to make multiple copies of an existing feature in one of three ways. A circular pattern is often used to array a hole around a center axis. An edge on an existing feature can also serve as the center axis. We used the circular pattern function to copy the existing hole on the flange plate a total of 10 times (the first hole must be represented in the count) around the existing work axis.

Bushing

.      Revolve is a function that allows the user to extrude a closed profile around a fixed axis up to 360°. The axis can be part of the profile, an existing edge on a part, or one of the axes of the Cartesian coordinate grid. Grid axes may be selected from the Origin folder located in the Browser bar. We used the revolve function to revolve the sketch around the existing axis a full 360°.

Puzzle Cube Project


For Puzzle Cube Project, we first created combinations by hand using three, four, five, and six cubes. Second, we used five different cube combinations to create one huge cube by hand using twenty-seven cubes. Third, we designed a puzzle cube box and then we created our cube in a prototype manner. Forth, we created our puzzle cube on the computer using the program Inventor. Fifth, we seperated the cube combinations and animated them. Last but not least, we placed everything on the program, Working and Drawing.

History of Measurement project


During winter break, my teacher assigned us a project which was 'History of Measurement'. We had to answer questions about the history of measurement like what was it and what was the significance of it. I placed everything on a poster and then i created a bookjacket of all the questions and answers.

Innovation of the Cup


In this project, 'Innovation of the Cup', my partner and i created a sketch of a innovated cup, that we came up with, in our engineers notebook and then we transfered it to poster paper to make it visible to others. We then contructed our innovated cup on the computer using the program Inventor.

This is called "The Evolution of the Cell Phone". As an assignment, my class including myself had to choose an object and explain how it has been innovated from time to time. I chose to talk about something us individuals use daily which is the cell phone.
