Next will be papercraft instructions!

The shape name "Scutoid" was coined in 2018 by this paper: "Scutoids are a geometrical solution to three-dimensional packing of epithelia" https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05376-1

3d printed models shown:

Scutoid Pair by Laura Taalman: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3024272

Scutoid, Four Cell Configuration by John Peplinski: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3033602

Scutoid, Space Filling Duo by John Peplinski: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3042446

Scutoid papercraft models are a collaboration between myself, Laura Taalman, John Peplinski, and Tom Ruen. The next video in the series will have instructions to print and make them yourself, or in a group where everyone’s scutoids fit together!
