A construction set is a set of standardized pieces that allow for the construction of a variety of different models. The pieces avoid the lead-time of manufacturing custom pieces, and of requiring special training or design time to construct complex systems. This makes them suitable for temporary structures, or for use as children's toys. ==Categories== Construction sets can be categorized according to their connection method and geometry: * Struts of varying length that are connected by nodes are good for building space frames, and often have components that allow full rotational freedom. * *D8h ( *228) nodes are used for K'Nex, Tinkertoys, Playskool Pipeworks, Cleversticks * *Ih ( *532) nodes are used for Zometool Spherical magnets * Panels of varying sizes and shapes * * Panels of varying sizes and shapes are connected by pins or screws perpendicular to the panels, which are good for building linkages such as an Erector Set, Meccano, Merkur, Steel Tec, Lego Technic, Trix, FAC-System and Überstix * * Panels of varying sizes and shapes with flexible panels or hinges between panels such as Tog'l, Jovo Click 'N Construct, Zaks, and Polydron. * Struts and panels * *Synestructics (does not make pentagonal structures). * *Geomag (components are magnetic). * Building components with various methods of connection include: * * No connection: toy blocks, Anchor Stone Blocks, KEVA planks, Kapla and (Unit Bricks ) * * Studs: Rokenbok, Lego, Coco, Rasti, Tente, Mega Bloks, Fischertechnik, Playmobil, Loc Blocs, Cobi blocks, Betta Builda and Oxford, Kre-O * * Notches: Lincoln Logs, GIK, and Stickle bricks * * Sleeves: Capsela 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Construction set」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
