INDIVIDUAL GÖMBÖC MODELS
3
4
In 2007, an individually numbered Gömböc model series has been launched. Each number N is in the range 0 < N < Y+1, where Y is the current year. Each number is produced only once, however, the order of production is not according to N, rather, at request. Initially, these models were made by rapid prototyping, the number appearing inside, filled with a matgerial of the same density. Later all models have been produced by CNC (Numerical control) and the production process of each individual Gömböc model includes the manufacturing of individual tools which are subsequently discarded. The first individually numbered Gömböc model (Gömböc 001) was presented by Domokos and Várkonyi as a gift to Vladimir Arnold on occasion of his 70th birthday in Moscow, August 2007. Professor Arnold later donated this piece to the Steklov Institute of Mathematics where it is on exhibit. While the majority of the existing numbered pieces are owned by private individuals, many pieces are public at renowned institutions worldwide. The majority of these models reached its destination by a sponsored donation program Individual Gömböc donation program. There are two types of individual Gömböc models which do not carry a serial number. Eleven pieces were manufactured for the World Expo 2010, and the logo of the Hungarian Pavilion was engraved into these pieces. The other non-numbered type of individual Gömböc models are the insignia of the Stephen Smale Prize in Mathematics, awarded by the Foundations of Computational Mathematics every third year.

For more information on individual Gömböc pieces see the table below, the interactive Gömböc map or the Gömböc booklet.
