GeoBender GeoCube - What is it?

The GeoBender Cube is a complex magnetic 3D puzzle. Each GeoBender Cube consists of 12 pyramids. Each pyramid has 3 magnets. The individual pyramids are connected to one another by hinges and thus form a chain or ring. The GeoBender Cube can be converted (transformed) into various shapes using the joints. The magnets create solid, connected shapes. With the help of magnetism, several GeoBender cubes can be connected to one another and thus geometrical shapes of high complexity can be built.

Each cube consists of 12 pyramids, 12 hinges and 36 magnets. The construction grid of each element (picture on the left) is very simple and nicely shows the course of the square root one, square root of 2 and square root of 3.

What is special about the Geocube?

That you won't find a more magical tool to discover the hidden dimension of structure and space than the GeoBender Cubes. It brings together properties of some of the most successful toys.

The stackability of Lego, the magnetic properties of Magnatiles, the complex challenge of a Rubik cube and the artistic versatility of Tangram.

Combines simplicity and complexity and combines individuality and collectivity.

And in my opinion the most important thing is the experience of geometric values and proportions through a tangible experience.

How does the cube work?

OPEN THE CUBE

The GeoBender Cube can only be opened at 2 of its 8 corners. You have to open the three tips in this corner and the cube will snap into shape 2. If you pull both corners at the same time, the cube will snap into the star (shape # 3).

CLOSE THE GEOCUBES

There's a trick to closing the cube - it's not the reverse of the opening! The reversal of the initial movement ends in a locked form. You can overcome this lock by opening an additional joint.

Discover the many possibilities on the transformation tree

The final step in unlocking the capabilities of the GeoBender Cube is to realize all of the different shapes and the order in which they can be created.

The cube is located as Form 1 in the upper middle of the diagram.

Each line represents a single, direct transformation.

There are some hidden shortcuts within the transform tree, as well as a few additional shapes that are not shown. These are for the curious mind to discover! In Giving dice school you can quickly learn the simplest forms in short video tutorials.

Pay for pre-orders later

What is a pre-order?
Pre-ordering allows you to purchase a product before it is available. By pre-ordering a product, you reserve a product so that you are among the first to receive this product as soon as it is available after the start of sales. The date of the start of sale is displayed under the "Order" button and represents the approximate date on which you will receive the pre-ordered product.

Why pre-order a product?
Pre-ordering is a hassle-free solution for reserving a product. This is how you ensure that you are among the first to receive a product that is in high demand. But that's not all. A pre-order also means that you don't have to wait in line at the next store at the start of the sale or wait even longer because the desired product is no longer in stock. With a pre-order, the desired product is conveniently sent to your home as soon as it is available and you are guaranteed to receive it at the launch date or shortly thereafter.

When will my order be delivered?
Your order will normally be dispatched shortly before the start of sales / market launch. This means that you will receive the product at the current start of sales or shortly afterwards.

Can I combine a pre-order with regular orders?
Of course that is possible. However, if you want to receive the products from a regular order quickly, we strongly recommend that you complete your pre-order as a separate process. If you complete regular orders together with pre-orders in one operation, this can lead to a delay in the delivery of the entire order.

Can all products be pre-ordered?
No, only selected products can be pre-ordered. A corresponding symbol on the product page shows which products are available for pre-order. After the launch date for a product has expired, it is no longer possible to pre-order that product.

How can I be sure that you have received my pre-order?
As soon as you have completed your order, you will receive an email confirming that it has been received. The confirmation email will state which products you have ordered and when they will be shipped. If you have placed an order but have not received an email confirmation within 24 hours, please contact our customer service.

Purchase on account (only for schools, kindergartens, authorities, etc.)

Important: This option does not apply to private customers!

If you would like to order in our shop for a school, a kindergarten, an authority or another public institution, you can arrange a purchase on account. The invoice will then be issued to you by us and not by a third party.

In this case we ask you to place your order by email stating the facility to info@brainbowtoys.de to give up. At this address we are also available for questions at any time.
