#  Puzzle Cube Design Project

Puzzle cubes have been used for centuries to teach geometry and problem-solving. In this project, you design and fabricate a puzzle cube to learn the basics of CAD and 3D printing. These projects include documents, videos, and step-by-step instructions.

- **Grade:** 6-8
- **Length:** 5-10 hours
- **Difficulty:** Moderate
- **Software:** SOLIDWORKS xDesign (though SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD can also be used)
- **Learning Objectives:** Use CAD to explore different possibilities before manufacturing. Design with constraints by applying design intent to the project. Understand fits and tolerances. Understand the basics of 3D Printing.
- **Materials Needed:** Filament (approximately 100g)
