Furniture Design/Storage Organizer Project

With your partner, you will create an innovative piece of furniture or storage organizer on our 3D Modeling program. This is the continuation of a project that we started during Hex 1. Here are some things you might want to complete in order to make your product awesome.

  • Find your "Best Design" from this project in your engineering notebooks. You can make things as simple or complex as you'd like them to be!
  • Make the parts of your design on Inventor. Use the skills you have on Inventor to shape, extrude, chamfer, and fillet each part to your liking.
  • Assemble those parts. Constraining the parts of your assembly the right way is tricky, but it's so cool when it works out. You can make doors that open, shelves that slide, objects that rotate, and more.
  • Make a Working Drawing (optional). This option would be great to show others your design and it's dimensions.
  • Create an Inventor Presentation (optional). If you'd like to, you can make a presentation within Inventor. There are lots of ways you can show your design moving the way it's supposed to. It will also allow you to "explode" the different parts of your assembled design.
  • Make a Google Presentation or Haiku Deck. You should put some pictures of your project on this. Also, explain what your "problem" was, what you designed to solve the problem, and what some of the features of your design are. How did you make it on Inventor?  


At some point during this project, take a break from what you're working on to look at another group's design. See if you can give them some feedback. Offer an additional idea that might make their product better. Ask another group to do the same for you, and then make your changes using "browser editing".
