Tile Maker – Decorative Relief & Sensory Tiles

Turn simple tiles into sculpted surfaces.
 

TileMaker is a fully parametric OpenSCAD generator for decorative relief tiles, wall panels, plaques, inserts, sensory surfaces, and more. Eight procedural pattern families, extensive shaping controls, pattern blending, edge fading, and seed-based variation make it possible to create everything from refined repeating textures to distinctive, sculpted surfaces.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Define Your Tile

Set the width, length, base thickness, and corner rounding. Use zero rounding for a rectangular panel or full rounding for a circle or capsule.

2. Choose a Pattern

Choose one of eight procedural surfaces:

• Ocean – layered swells and cross waves
• Waves – clean repeating ridges
• Ripple – concentric impact rings
• Foam – rounded cellular forms
• Topographic – warped contour ridges
• Dunes – wind-shaped ridges and fine ripples
• Organic – soft flowing structures
• Labyrinth – winding paths with optional branches

Change Pattern Seed to explore new variations. Fine-tune the result with each pattern's dedicated controls.

3. Shape and Blend

Adjust the pattern height, soften the perimeter with a fade, or blend in a second pattern globally, across a feathered split, or through a radial transition.

4. Prepare the Print

Use a coarse Resolution while designing and a lower value for the final mesh. Export flat for maximum bed contact, or enable Print Upright for smoother relief slopes (recommended). A brim helps upright tiles stay secure on the build plate.

⭐ Features

• Endless Possibilities

  Combine seeds, pattern controls, blending, rotation, and tile shaping to create distinctive, one-of-a-kind surfaces.

• Flexible Tile Shapes

  Create rectangular panels, rounded tiles, circular medallions, and capsule-shaped plaques.

• Pattern Blending

  Combine two patterns globally, across a feathered split, or through a radial transition.

• Seamless and Edge-Aware Surfaces

  Generate repeating tiles or soften the relief toward the perimeter with outline-aware fading.

• 3D Printing Ready

  Adjust mesh resolution and export tiles flat or upright for cleaner, printable results.

Some frames shown in the gallery were created with FrameMaker, a separate parametric generator made to complement TileMaker. Together, they make it easy to turn custom tiles into fitted, display-ready framed panels.
