Honeycomb structure aerospace industries, automotive and furniture to packaging and logistics. The material takes its name from its visual resemblance to a bee's honeycomb – a hexagonal sheet structure. The hexagonal comb of the honey bee has been admired and wondered about from ancient times. The first man-made honeycomb, according to Greek mythology, is said to have been manufactured by Daedalus from gold by lost wax casting more than 3000 years ago. Marcus Varro reports that the Greek geometers Euclid and Zenodorus found that the hexagon shape makes most efficient use of space and building materials. The interior ribbing and hidden chambers
Order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb 3-sphere, with 2 hemispherical cells. There are nine uniform honeycombs in the [5,3,5] Coxeter group family, including this regular form. Also the bitruncated form, t{5,3,5}, , of this honeycomb has all truncated icosahedron cells. The Seifert–Weber space is a compact manifold that can be formed as a quotient space of the order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb. This honeycomb is a part of a sequence of polychora and honeycombs with icosahedron vertex figures: This honeycomb is a part of a sequence of regular polytopes and honeycombs with dodecahedral cells: The rectified order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb, , has alternating icosahedron and icosidodecahedron cells, with a
