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 sizable loss of profit.
Design Statement:
Fine Office Furniture, Inc. would like to return value to its waste product by using it as the raw material for desktop novelty items that will be sold on the showroom floor. Design, build, test, document, and present a three-dimensional puzzle system that is made from the scrap hardwood cubes. The puzzle system must provide an appropriate degree of challenge to a person who is three years of age or older.

in this process we started out by defining problems, then we sketched some pictures. after we did those steps we wrote possible pieces, then we wrote 2 possible complete solutions. then we did a inventors model. we dimensioned the model, then we dialed calipers and measure them.we took some statistics of the calipers. we built the cube from the model and tested the cube to determine how difficult it was to solve it.
