Puzzles by Type > 3D Put Together

Other 3D Put Together puzzles can be described as those puzzles which need to be assembled to make a 3D shape but they are not interlocking.  In other words they do not lock together so that they cannot be picked up as a single shape when completed.  Box packing problems, cube and other assembly puzzles and also some pattern matching puzzles generally come into this category.
