Left half : mirror

Mirror is a function that allows the user to create a mirror image of existing geometry. This function requires an existing feature(s) and a surface or work plane to serve as the mid-plane of symmetry. We used the mirror function to add a duplicate mirror image of the existing geometry on the other side of the right face of the object.

Intersect

The intersect extrusion function performed a Boolean addition and subtraction in one operation. Any part of the sketch profile that overlaps existing geometry will remain. The portion of the sketched profile and the existing geometry that do not overlap will be removed. We performed an intersect extrusion on the sketch all the way through the existing object to observe what takes place.

Fillets Chamfers

Fillet is a function that allows the user to create a rounded blend where two surfaces meet to form an edge. It should be noted that on an exterior corner, the resulting feature is known as a round. On an interior corner, the resulting feature is known as a fillet. We Used the fillet function to apply a .25 radius to the corners shown above. We Used the chamfer function to apply a .25 inch x 45° chamfer to the edges shown above.

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.
