Problem Statement
A local office furniture manufacturing company throws away tens of thousands of scrap ¾” hardwood cubes that result from its furniture construction processes. The material is expensive, and the scrap represents a sizeable loss of profit.
The criteria for the cube project included the following:
1. The puzzle must be made from 27 – 3/4" wooden cubes.
2. The puzzle itself must consist of exactly five puzzle pieces.
3. Each of the individual puzzle pieces must contain of exactly four-six of the 3/4" cubes
4. Each piece has to be 3-D, meaning it must be at least two cubes for each axis (x, y, and z)
5. No two puzzle pieces can be the have the same design or layout.
6. The five puzzle pieces must assemble to form a 2 1/4" cube which is 3 by 3 by 3 individual cubes.
7. Some puzzle parts should interlock to confuse anyone who attempts to solve it.

This is the (Cheat Sheet) for my puzzle cube it shows all the pieces and where they go to complete the cube. I had to design each piece one-at-a-time!! |
|
These are the three options of puzzles I designed and chose the create and model on a CAD program called Autodesk inventor.
to eventually glue wood pieces together in practice |
