Puzzle Cube:Inventor

After completeing the prototype of the puzzle cube, students were assigned to make the exact same things on Autodesk Inventor. First we had to create each combination piece. After this, we took the pieces that we used to create the cube and put them all together to form the cube on Inventor. After this was done, we were to animate the cube to show how each piece comes together to make the final product. Finally, we put the final cube and the animation on working drawing.
