KALI
for Windows and Macintosh
http://thames.northnet.org/weeks/index/Kali.html
Based on Kali for Unix by Nina Amenta, Jeff Weeks has
recently written a Windows version of this software to
complement the Macintosh version that had been available.
Kali lets you draw symmetrical patterns based on any of the
17 tiling groups. It was written for a broad audience, with
attention to the needs of young children and older students
alike.
Wallpaper, frieze and rosette groups can be systematically
explored using Kali. The Show Singularities command and the
Conway and IUC notation provide support for a theoretical
analysis.

STELLA (GREAT AND SMALL) - Robert Webb
http://home.connexus.net.au/~robandfi/Stella.html
Great Stella lets you create all uniform/dual polyhedra and
their many stellations, and print out nets for building them.
Small Stella, a "lite" version with limited features and
sets of models, is intended as an educational tool for
schools.
The software is for Windows only. Free limited demos are
available, as is Robert Webb's research on stellations.
