The Design

About RenyiTong 3D Circle Connectors

RenyiTong is a construction toy made of three-dimensional circle connectors. The set uses a minimum of six components. Each component can be joined in a cycle to form a three-dimensional shape. Several components can also be combined to build more complex three-dimensional models. Column holes are used to link the parts. The design is inspired by the Tai Chi principle and the Mobius strip, which both describe continuous cycles. RenyiTong is produced by stereolithography 3D printing. The toy is intended as an educational item for children and adults.
