The problem that i had to solve was a office furniture manufacturing company throws away tens of thousands of scraps 3/4"hardwood cubes that result from its furniture construction processes. The material is expensive, and the scrap represents a sizable loss profit. The given constrains of the problem were the puzzle system must contain 5 puzzle pieces, each individual puzzle piece must consist of at least 3 but no more than six hardwood cubes permanently attached to each other, and no 2 puzzle pieces can be the same.
In order to solve the problem, first I need to brainstorm different cube combinations to make different puzzle pieces.Then I had to draw a sketch on isometric paper of the five puzzle pieces, each individually different. Finally I assembled the puzzle pieces and I was able to complete the puzzle cube.
What I really liked about the project was it was useful to recycle the scraps and not waste them and also the company could use the design to gain profit from the scraps.one thing I would change about the puzzle pieces painted already instead of colorless. Finally, the most challenging thing i had to do in this project was designing the different puzzle pieces that join to create a bigger cube.
