Jigsaw puzzles are a popular type of intellectual game that are varied and difficult.
Most modern jigsaw puzzles are made of cardboard, so the cost is lower and the production process is simpler. The pattern of the jigsaw puzzle is a whole art print pasted on the surface of the cardboard before cutting, and the content of the picture can be enlarged through photography, painting, or other types of graphic art.
The cardboard after mapping will be sent to a special embossing machine tool, which is equipped with a steel cutter group combined according to a predetermined pattern. After the cardboard is punched by the machine tool, it will be cut into pieces by the cutter group.
A jigsaw puzzle is a flat board that is cut into several small pieces according to the design requirements. When each small piece is combined correctly, it can be assembled into various shapes, models, and scenes.
1. Two-dimensional jigsaw puzzles: common two-dimensional jigsaw puzzles have different specifications such as 300 pieces, 500 pieces, 750 pieces, and 1,000 pieces; currently, the largest size of commodity jigsaw puzzles is 24,000 pieces per set.
2. Double-sided jigsaw puzzle: Players can assemble according to the patterns on any side, and the difficulty of the game has also increased because it is difficult for players to determine which side is the correct side for the pieces in their hands.
3. Three-dimensional puzzle: In addition to the traditional two-dimensional puzzle, there are different kinds of three-dimensional puzzles.
The pieces of a three-dimensional puzzle are often made of more solid materials such as wood or foam. Its spatial characteristics often lead to an increase in difficulty, requiring players to assemble the pieces in a specific order.
If some pieces are improperly assembled in the completed part, the remaining pieces may not be able to continue to be spliced.
4. Puzzle box: Another toy called a puzzle box is also very common. Players can use interlocking parts similar to flat puzzle pieces to assemble a small drawer or box in which items can be stored in the middle.
5. Spherical puzzle: The spherical puzzle can be regarded as an intermediate type between the plane puzzle and the three-dimensional puzzle. Similar to a planar puzzle, its spherical surface is also a single-layer structure made of cardboard pieces; and the final shape is a three-dimensional shape with attributes of length, width, and height.
