Intricate Isohedral Tilings of 3D Euclidean Space
نویسنده
چکیده
Various methods to create intricate tilings of 3D space are presented. They include modulated extrusions of 2D Escher tilings, free-form deformations of the fundamental domain of various 3D symmetry groups, highly symmetrical polyhedral toroids of genus 1, higher-genus cage structures derived from the cubic lattice as well as from the diamond and triamond lattices, and finally interlinked tiles with the connectivity of simple knots. .

CAD Tools for Creating Space-filing 3D Escher Tiles
We discuss the design and implementation of CAD tools for creating decorative solids that tile 3-space in a regular, isohedral manner. Starting with the simplest case of extruded 2D tilings, we describe geometric algorithms used for maintaining boundary representations of 3D tiles, including a Java implementation of an interactive constrained Delaunay triangulation library and a mesh-cutting al...
متن کاملCAD Tools for Creating Space-filling 3D Escher Tiles
We discuss the design and implementation of CAD tools for creating decorative solids that tile 3-space in a regular, isohedral manner. Isohedral tilings of the plane, as popularized by M. C. Escher, can be constructed by hand or using existing tools on the web. Specialized CAD tools have also been developed for tiling other 2-manifolds. This work addresses the question: How can we generate inte...
متن کاملInterlinked Isohedral Tilings of 3D Space
Di erent isohedral tilings of the Euclidian Space are studied in this paper. Using the Voronoi zone in various lattices, we derived toroidal shapes that interlink with each other to ll space completely. The tile of main interest was the 3-segment ring-tile, for which we found several linear approximations.
متن کاملFundamental Domains of Discrete Groups Acting on Euclidean Space
Fundamenatal domains of wallpaper groups acting on R2 whose closures are homeomorphic to closed disks can be classified in the same way that Grunbaum classifies isohedral plane tilings in [7]. Almost all of these types of fundamental domains appear as Dirichlet domains, and examples are given.
متن کاملThe Local Theorem for Monotypic Tilings
A locally finite face-to-face tiling T of euclidean d-space Ed is monotypic if each tile of T is a convex polytope combinatorially equivalent to a given polytope, the combinatorial prototile of T . The paper describes a local characterization of combinatorial tile-transitivity of monotypic tilings in Ed; the result is the Local Theorem for Monotypic Tilings. The characterization is expressed in...
