Chess Set Project
For this project we will create two full chess piece sets and a chess board. The chess pieces will replicate the standard chess pieces but designers will have the ability to slightly modify each piece. Each chess set piece will have a standard height and diameter. Features on the chess pieces can vary but must visually resemble the standard piece.
Designers are encouraged to create the chess pieces using the REVOLVE command. Modification to the chess pieces can be made OFFSETTING planes, Creating angular planes, Arraying features, Extruding material and Extrude cutting. Other commands in Inventor can be used as well.
