The following 3-anisohedral tiles from http://www.angelfire.com/mn3/anisohedral/k_aniso.html are convex with a convenient right angle, so I think many copies may be made simply out of a long piece of lumber with woodworking equipment: first a table saw with a blade at an angle to create the desired cross section, then a chop saw to slice tiles.
