Build polyhedral models that fill 3D space with no gaps or overlaps.
Build Space-filling Polyhedra
-
What polyhedra are space filling by themselves? What about combinations of multiple polyhedra?
-
What are zonohedra, stereohedra, parallelohedra, and plesiohedra? How are they related? What is centrally symmetry?
-
Who is Evgraf Fedorov? What are Space Groups and Wallpaper Groups?
-
How do different space filling structural designs differ in density, stiffness, and other physical properties?
-
What are examples of natural and man-made space filling structures at different physical scales from nanostructures to large scale architecture?
