Puzzle Coasters 3D Model

The Puzzle Coasters 3D Model reimagines ordinary drink coasters as an interactive, modular set of six precisely interlocking pieces. Combining functionality with playful design, these coasters feature an attractive checkerboard pattern that enhances any table setting while protecting surfaces. Perfect for homes, offices, and cafes, they serve as both practical accessories and conversation starters. The design balances aesthetic appeal with real-world utility, making it ideal for personal use, commercial applications, and educational purposes in CAD and manufacturing.

Design Process

Designed in SolidWorks with meticulous attention to detail, this model features parametric components that allow for easy customization of thickness and dimensions. The interlocking mechanism has been carefully engineered for a perfect balance between secure assembly and easy disassembly. Available in both native SolidWorks (.SLDPRT) and universal STEP (.STP) formats, the files maintain clean geometry and optimal topology. The design includes precise clearances for material variations, making it adaptable to different production methods while ensuring consistent quality across manufacturing processes.

Manufacturing Process

The Puzzle Coasters can be produced through various methods to suit different needs and scales. For prototyping or small batches, 3D printing with PLA, ABS, or resin materials delivers excellent results. Larger production runs can utilize laser cutting from materials like acrylic, plywood, or MDF, with the design accounting for kerf and material thickness variations. The model’s intelligent engineering ensures successful production whether using hobbyist equipment or industrial machinery. Post-processing options such as sanding, painting, or waterproof coatings can further enhance durability and visual appeal, allowing for complete customization.
