About The Project
In this project we were told to create a maze using inventor
and then use foam to cut it out in real life. To cut out the
maze we used the CNC Router.

How I Made It
Using Inventor I modeled my maze with pretty much no
problem. And after, that I used Fusion 360 to model the
tool paths. I then used the router to cut out my design
into reality.

Fusion 360
Using Fusion (Just like when I created my CNC Mill
Project) I used it to create the tool paths that ended
up cutting out my project. After doing my first project
it was easy to set up and get down to the router.

As always it's really cool to see all of the
thought and effort to design the project
come to life.

Final Product
This is a photo of my final product, I thought
that it turned out very cool. Just like I said
above, it's really cool to see your hard
work come to life.

What I Learned
During this project I not only learned a few new tricks on inventor, but also learned a lot about designing things so that they will work. What I mean by this is that in order to make this design work their was a lot of steps that I had to follow. And I learned that real engineers have a lot of requirements that they have to follow too. But in the end I made my design work and it turned out pretty cool. It was a fun but stressful project.
