STEM Tilz are inspired by the wooden sculptures I created between 2014 and 2018. During that time, I used this tiling construction system to design geometric and topological surfaces, including Holden polysurfaces.
Since then, I have redesigned STEM Tilz for 3D printing, making them more accessible and versatile. Now, you can download several kits for free from Thingiverse and start exploring the possibilities of structural geometry yourself!
