the reasons given in the text. Then, based in the former texts, the members of the group will discuss which of the palettes chosen by each
member should be the one to manufacture a 10 x 10 x10 cm MDF cube (medium-density fibreboard,MDF) by laser-cutting its six sides in
the Laboratory, then glueing them to build up the cube and finally, recover it with the printed pattern of the color palette, so as to create the
3D volume resulting of the extrussion of the 2D original image in the book, reproducing as precisely as possible the original colors in
