The site is “George W. Hart’s Rapid Prototyping Web Page”. It’s a ten-year old-style web page, but as everyone knows, mathematics is eternal. Just focus on the models.
Several intricate mathematically-generated 3D models are offered for download, including the “120 Cell” shown above. Hart describes this piece:
The 120 Cell is a 4D structure made of 120 regular dodecahedra. This "shadow" of it has the form of one large dodecahedron filled in with 119 smaller dodecahedra. In 4D all the dodecahedra are regular, but in this 3D shadow, angles are necessarily distorted, so only the innermost and outermost dode
