For those looking to create patterns like these in real life, I've had some success describing aperiodic tiling expansion rules in PostScript: https://github.com/steiza/postscript_fractals
From there you can send it to a laser cutter (see link for pictures), vinyl cutter, plasma cutter, CNC machine, etc.
PostScript is particularly great because it's a stack based language, and aperiodic tilings are often defined by expansion rules that are basically recursive algorithms. Just don't go too deep or you'll blow the stack!
