New #MathArt sculptures: reaction-diffusion Truchet tilings of the sphere! These are made from 3D-printed nylon and each individual tile can be removed/replaced.
If you think these look cool or interesting, stick around to learn a little bit about how they were made and the math behind them... 🧵

Oh, and here are some planar variants I made, too. The left one is CNC-machined walnut and maple, because it seemed like a really cool idea before I realized exactly how much hand-sanding would be involved (too much, it was too much sanding). The right one is 3D-printed nylon.
