Note: claims in article that Polygonia is free are unfounded. It’s not free at all.

It has got to be a little bit free?
I just did a design and downloaded an svg and I’m pretty sure I didn’t pay anything.

When does it become not free?

I love these intricate patterns. Unfortunately, unless you own a laser cutter, they can cost a fair whack to cut when one is charged per minute of laser time.

There are many other ways these sort of patterns can be used, they don’t have to be laser-cut. Anyone interested in marquetry would find it useful, or for fabric design, and other sorts of print media. Even ceramics.
