Ultimaker Core Lessons: STEAM lesson 8—Tessellations
A tessellation, is a tiling of the plane with no gaps or overlaps. The most common tessellations today are floor tilings, using square, rectangular, or hexagonal shapes.
This project integrates math concepts for developing tiles with a lesson on using offsets, which you’ll need to get the 3D printed tiles to fit together and to create a custom box for your tiles.
