Problem Identification

• You will be making a puzzle that will form a cube
  when assembled
• Puzzle Cube must have at least 5 parts

4
Problem Identification

• Parts are made from 3/4 wood cubes
• No parts can be repeated
• Each part can be made from 3, 4, 5, or 6 wood
  cubes
• Some of the parts must interlock

5
Conceptualization

• You will use masking tape and your wood blocks to
  make a mock-up model
• You will draw each of part from your masking tape
  mock-up on its own sheet of Multi-view paper

7
Refinement of Ideas

• You will use a decision matrix to evaluate you
  solution based on
• of interlocking parts
• of ways to solve the puzzle
• Relative puzzle difficulty

8
Conceptualization

• You will make TWO MORE masking tape mock-ups and
  draw each their parts on multi-view paper

9
Development Implementation

• Once you have picked the best solution, you will
  neatly glue your blocks together
• Each part will be colored with markers

10
Optimization

• You will model each part of your final solution
  using AutoDesk Inventor
• You will create and engineering drawing for each
  part

11
Optimization

• You will assemble each of the part files
• You will create an exploded view

12
Presentation

• You will be given a binder to compile all of you
  work as you complete it
• It should contain section dividers for each step
  of the design process
