![]() ![]() ![]() The tracks create the maze for the rook to travel, as some paths are blocked when the rook is oriented in certain ways. The puzzle presents itself as a sphere composed of various inlaid hexagons which form a track for the puzzle piece, or “rook”. One thing that may not be touched on as often, though, is their ability to rapidly prototype solutions to complex mathematical problems, in this case taking the form of a 3D printed maze, known as a dodecahedral holonomy maze, with an interesting solution. Certain shapes lend themselves to 3D printing, and materials and tooling costs are also generally greatly reduced as well. ![]() 3D printers have made a lot of things possible that were either extremely difficult or downright impossible with traditional tooling. ![]()
