This work studies the generation of simple interlinked isohedral tilings of Euclidian Space. We start from interlinked wire frames derived from 3D lattices of high symmetry, in particular, the cubic lattice, the diamond lattice, and the triamond lattice. Forming the Voronoi regions around the original regular arrays of wire frames, we derived toroidal shapes with a small number of planar facets that interlink with each other to fill 3D space completely. The main focus was on a 3-segment ring-tile, derived from the symmetries of the triamond lattice; several simple and pleasing linear approximations have been found.
