Engineering Design and Analysis Tic-Tac-Toe Game (Spring 2021)
For my Engineering Design and Analysis course, I used dimensioned drawings to create the tic-tac-toe game shown below with a top plate, bottom plate, and game pieces.

I started by making the top plate and added 9 thru-holes for the game pieces using the Linear Pattern tool. I then added 4 holes, one in each corner, for screws to connect the top and bottom plates.

I then constructed the bottom plate, which keeps the game pieces secure. After modeling the main bottom plate part, I added 4 tapped holes for the screws from the top plate to lock into.

Next, I created the game pieces. I started with a cylindrical shape and added chamfered edges. To complete the game piece, I added text to the top of the piece with an X and extruded it into the piece. I then developed a second configuration with an extruded O.

Finally, I joined the components together into an assembly. I mated the top and bottom plates together, mated the game pieces to the bottom plate, and mated
4 Hex Socket Head ISO 4762 screws into the corner holes to complete the game.

Lastly, dimensioned and toleranced part drawings and an assembly drawing were created, which are shown below.
