A cube is a single cube. A piece is 4-6 cubes stuck together. A puzzle is 5 pieces fitting together to form a 3x3x3 block.
You will be developing possible cube combinations, creating a solution and then building your design in Inventor. |
BrainstormYou will sketch all of the possible combinations of 3,4,5, and 6 cube combinations. After that you will create a solution to your puzzle cube using only 5 pieces to form a 3x3x3 shape.
