You can read a bit about the companyâs history in this article, but I canât point you to the companyâs web site for the simple reason that it doesnât have one. Yes, as amazing as this is, here in mid-2009 Arca Swiss lacks a web site, one of the few companies of any size in the photographic industry without one.
A pyritohedron is a dodecahedron with pyritohedral (T h) symmetry. Like the regular dodecahedron, it has twelve identical pentagonal faces, with three meeting in each of the 20 vertices. However, the pentagons are not constrained to be regular, and the underlying atomic arrangement has no true fivefold symmetry axes.
A cube has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges. A cylinder has 0 vertices, 0 edges and 2 faces. A sphere has no faces, no edges or vertices. A Triangle based pyramid has 4 faces, 4 vertices, and 6 edges. A cone has 2 faces (around the curved part and the flat base). 1 vertex (the point at the top). 1 edge (where the curved section meets the flat base). A Cuboid has 6 faces, 8 vertices, and 12 edges.
