Wait, this is so cool.

It’s called a ‘die cut’… they are not cheap to produce, so, to me, it makes sense that they would have just a single pattern. The die is made of thin strips of metal, usually placed into plywood. The printed puzzle is pressed onto the die, creating the pieces.

I figured this out as a kid, but I never thought to do this with that knowledge. Pretty neat.

How many of those things do you have to do before the patterns become apparent. I like jigsaw puzzles as much as thr next guy, but god damn…

This is not a simulation. Not gonna believe it. Nope.

A single company only uses one shape of cutter for the puzzles. Why would they spend more money on production when one cutter will cut every puzzle. It costs more and slows down production time to change them out.

Cheap fuckers.

@AshokC2011 Thought about ya

Is this you @DaveGorman ? 😅

@DaveGorman they stole your idea!

Well.... duh, why also spend money on a new pattern when it cheaper to just change the imagine.

Sure, it’s called a die cut.
