Besides tiling your bathroom is there any use case for this? Or is this pure for fun and gaining knowledge?
Edit: The article is talking about building structures but isn't a triangle the most rigid form? And triangles are already used in building.

- matt4077 11y agoSure there are. There are many processes where you want to "tile" a surface with identical smaller parts. I'd assume it's something that happens with solar panels. Possibly also on the molecular level with coatings etc. Having more options for the shape of the constituent parts may be an advantage. see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminsterfullerene, a molecule inspired by architecture.

- akent 11y agoCan I actually tile my bathroom with tiles like this? Do any tile manufacturers make them that shape? EDIT: I found these, at least http://www.ballerhouse.com/2010/08/19/precision-concrete-tiles/ http://www.ballerhouse.com/2010/08/19/precision-concrete-til...

- madcaptenor 11y agoI am buying a house and the bathrooms need updating, so tiling your bathroom is actually the first thing that came to mind.
