ABSTRACT
We have developed an approach to construct and design a new class of space-filling shapes, which we call Delaunay Lofts. Our approach is based on interpolation of a stack of planar tiles whose dual tilings are Delaunay diagrams. We construct control curves that interpolate Delaunay vertices. Voronoi decomposition of the volume using these control curves as Voronoi sites gives us lofted interpolation of original polygons in planar tiles. This, combined with the use of wallpaper symmetries allows for the design of space-filling shapes in 3-space. In the poster exhibition, we will also demonstrate 3D printed examples of the new class of shapes (See Figures 1 and 3).

Voronoi Spaghetti & VoroNoodles: Topologically Interlocked, Space-Filling, Corrugated & Congruent Tiles
SA '22: SIGGRAPH Asia 2022 Technical CommunicationsIn this work, we introduce an approach to model topologically interlocked corrugated bricks that can be assembled in a water-tight manner (space-filling) to design a variety of spatial structures. Our approach takes inspiration from recently developed ...
Lofted Catmull-Clark Subdivision Surfaces
GMP '02: Proceedings of the Geometric Modeling and Processing — Theory and Applications (GMP'02)One of the essential Interpolation constraints on subdivision surfaces is curve interpolation. Subdivision surfaces through predefined meshes of curves can now be generated using either some variations of existing subdivision schemes or (in our case) ...

AbstractIn this paper, we present a simple and intuitive approach for designing space filling tiles in 3D space. Our approach is inspired by “scutoids” — shapes that were recently reported to occur in epithelial cells due to topological changes between ...
