PUZZLE CUBE PROJECT
Problem statement
A local furniture manufacturing company throws away tens of thousands of scrape 3/4 hardwood cubes that result from its furniture construction processes. The material is expensive and the scrapes represent a sizable loss of profit

Generating concepts
I got this information by plugging in all of the different solution into excl that get you the things that you need. excl is one of the best thing when it come in make charts and trying to organize imformation
This sketches are isomeric and these where made so that i could have ideas to use when i went to construct my cube
develop a solution
construct and test prototype

4.2 I flushed all of the part so that they would move an would stay in the right position and they would make a cube when i was done
i could finish becuase i was have problems getting the pink peace together and also you didn't come help me when i asked you to alot.
evaluate the solution
The people that i let try my was my mom, Dad, sister, uncle and my aunt. The times that i got for all of them was 1 minute and 45 seconds for my dads he got 2 minutes and 36 seconds and then my uncle got 43 seconds Then my aunt got 2 minute and 40 seconds and my sister got 51 seconds. In these examples age does not make a difference because my examples because my dad is a engineer and he was been in engineering for 25 years and still got beat by my sister that i rally bad at building thing I think the time is effected by how much creativity you have in building things. I think that because my sister has a lot of creativity compared to my dad that why she got a better time.
present the solution
In this puzzle cube project we where give a week to create a three by three cube on made of little wooden cubes. With these cubes you had to make 5 different shapes that could be the same in anyway. I used the design process to solve the problem means that you used the different step of the design process to help construct you cube and to help make your different peaces for your cube. For example you us the design process when you sketch the different shape to see which ones you are going to us. This is using the define a problem. Another time you us the design process is when you create your multi view sketches this is using the construct part of the design process because you are putting the parts together to make the cube. My experience with inventor was alright because the teacher helped me when ever something wasn't working right. Also I think if i didn't have help from the teacher I probably wouldn't of been able to finish this project. Also I would like you to know that I would rather do project with a group instead of work with just your self because i think i work better in the group.
