The Moving Sofa Problem:The Moving Sofa Problem is a famous unsolved problem in mathematics that seeks to determine the largest two-dimensional shape that can navigate through an L-shaped corridor of unit width. In 1992, mathematician Joseph Gerver proposed a solution—now known as the Gerver Sofa—which has an area of approximately 2.2195 square units. This intricate shape is composed of 18 distinct curved sections and represents the largest known solution to the problem. Just a few months ago, a study that claimed the Gerver Sofa to be the optimal solution was published, which is what prompted me make this model. This model does work just as expected and is abled to slide perfectly around the corner, even with no extra tolerance on the hallway. To make it perfectly smooth, some tolerance is advised, which is why i have a 1mm tolerance version available as well.
