Base Block

In this project we got a block and than had a couple of shapes and had to put the shapes in the Block to make the Block complete. After that I learned alot of how to connect shapes together and I am better at it now.

Water Bottle

Decal is a function that allows the user to place an image onto a model surface. This function requires a feature and sketch, such as the water bottle and the logo graphic pictured above. Graphics must be either JPG or BMP formats. Use the decal function to wrap the image around the surface of the water bottle.

Emboss

Emboss is a function that allows the user to raise a design from a surface, or carve a design into a surface. This function requires a feature and a profile, such as the wrist band and text. Use the emboss function to project the text down onto the surface of the wrist band, and extrude the letters a distance of .02 inch.

Left Half

Use the mirror function to add a duplicate mirror image of the existing geometry on the other side of the right face of the object.

Chamfer

Use the chamfer function to apply a .25 inch x 45° chamfer to the edges shown above.

Fillet

. Use the fillet function to apply a .25 radius to the corners shown above.

Spring

Use the coil function to turn the existing circle into a spring form by coiling it around the Y axis of the Cartesian coordinate grid. The Y axis must be selected from the origin folder in the browser bar. The spring will have a height of 6 inches and the circle will revolve around the Y axis a total of five times.

Paper Clip

Use the sweep function to extrude the circle along the existing path to create the form of a paper clip.

Rib Support

A line profile has been created on a work plane that exists midway through the object. Use the rib function to turn this line profile into a .125 inch support web between the two perpendicular surfaces.

Lunch Tray

Rotate the object so that its underside is visible, as shown in Step #1. Use the shell function to pocket out the material on the bottom side of the object, leaving a wall thickness of .3125 inch, as shown in Step #2. Save the file as a different name.

Pattern Along a Path

Use the rectangular pattern function to copy the existing rectangular extrusions 13 times along the curved path of the base feature.

Rectangular Pattern

Use the rectangular pattern to copy the existing cylindrical extrusion six times in the horizontal direction and four times in the vertical direction.

Cirrcular Pattern

Circular Pattern, and use 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.

Loft

Use the loft function to blend the three profiles into one solid object.

Drilled Holes

The existing feature is a blind hole, and has been created for you. The following page shows the different function windows that are associated with a counterbore, countersink, threaded hole, and clearance hole. All hole centers in a sketch will be auto-selected by the computer when the hole command is initiated. You will have to hold down the shift key to deselect the hole centers that you do not want. Work your way around the block in a clockwise direction initiating the hole function, selecting the appropriate hole center, and identifying the type of hole feature that is needed. The counterbore will have a major diameter of .75 inch that is recessed .25 inch. From there, its through hole will have a diameter of .375 inch. The countersink has a major diameter of .75 inch, with a taper of 83°. Its through hole has a diameter of .375 inch. The threaded through hole has a nominal diameter of .25 inch, and a 1/4-20 thread applied to its interior wall. The clearance hole goes through the disc, and has a diameter of .531 inch. Note: a shared sketch will not disappear after the first feature is created.

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. Open the file called Bushing. Use the revolve function to revolve the sketch around the existing axis a full 360°.

Tapered Extrusions

Extruded objects can be givenpositive 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. Open the file called Extrude-Taper, and extrude the square a distance of 1 inch with a taper angle of -10°.

Intersect Extrusion


The intersect extrusion function will perform 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. Open the file called Intersect, and perform an intersect extrusion on the sketch all the way through the existing object to observe what takes place.

Mid-Plane Extrusions

In this assignment we got a file called activity 2.1.5 CAD and we had to solve the problem which was,and perform a 1 inch extrusion on the sketch. i finished this on in no time.

The Blue Prints

In this part of the project we had finished everything and now our teacher made us make a blue print of the project. In the blue print we put our name and school named and it looked well to.

Animation of Cube

In this part of the project i had finished the Puzzle Cube on Inventor. Now the problem was to animate the cube and make it into a clip. The clip is 10 seconds long and it looks great on Inventor when you play the clip.

Puzzle Cube

In this project we had to take the 3-D cube that we made and make it on Inventor. At first it was hard but with help with teahcer and classmates I made the cube in the time of one class.
