Abstract: Highlights•Tileable geometric patterns, generated through recursive subdivision and refinement for manufacturability.•The patterns exhibit diverse mechanical behaviors computed in standard out-of-plane bending scenarios.•Strategy for domain augmentation by variating continuous parameters.•Navigation of a design catalog to select desirable aesthetic and mechanical qualities.•Design-to-fabricate approach validated through digital fabrication of 3D objects in comparison with simulations.
