At the core, a CMY Cube is a solid acrylic cube. Acrylic is a type of plastic that’s not only crystal clear but also incredibly durable. Think of it like the superhero version of glass. It gives you that glossy, see-through appearance without the fragility.

Unlike traditional toys that may crack or fade, our acrylic is built to last. It’s smooth, weighty, and has just the right amount of resistance to make fidgeting feel satisfying.

So the structure? That’s acrylic. But the real magic lies inside.

The Color Layers: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow

Here’s where things get exciting. The CMY Cube are made of three transparent coatings placed precisely at an angle inside the cube. Each film is a different color:

• Cyan

• Magenta

• Yellow

These are not painted or dyed into the cube randomly. They are applied using a special layering process that ensures they remain crisp, vibrant, and evenly distributed. Each layer is chosen for its clarity, consistency, and ability to interact with light.

The color are so precise that as light passes through the cube, it behaves in very specific ways. This is what allows the subtractive color mixing to happen right in your hand.

CMY Cubes don’t require any electronics to work. There are no lights, no wires, and no moving parts. Everything you see is powered by physics. The angle of light. The structure of the cube. The way colors interact. It’s a completely analog experience that feels futuristic.

And since the cube is completely sealed, the internal color layers are protected from dust, moisture, or wear. You can take it anywhere, spin it in the sun, and even stack it with others for endless color experiments.

But Wait, Why Acrylic?

Great question. Acrylic offers the perfect balance of beauty and function.

• Clarity : Light passes through with minimal distortion.

• Strength : It can handle drops, spins, and everyday handling.

• Safety : It’s shatter-resistant, which makes it kid-friendly and classroom-approved.

• Weight : Light enough to carry, heavy enough to feel substantial.

Plus, it’s easy to polish, shape, and mold, which allows for the precise geometry needed for our cube design.

Not all cubes are created equal. CMY Cubes are made with premium materials, strict quality control, and exact optical alignment. Cheaper imitations often use lower-grade plastics, uneven coatings, or incorrect color values. That means duller color shifts, warped edges, or even cloudy visibility.

So when you hold a CMY Cube, you’re not just holding a toy. You’re holding a carefully crafted object designed to delight the senses and spark curiosity.

Understanding what your cube is made of helps you appreciate the craftsmanship behind it. Every shift in color. Every bounce of light. Every satisfying twist is the result of thoughtful design, premium materials, and a whole lot of love for science and creativity.
