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 pentagonal prism vertex figure. There are four rectified compact regular honeycombs: The truncated order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb, , has icosahedron and truncated dodecahedron cells, with a pentagonal pyramid vertex figure. The bitruncated order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb, , has truncated icosahedron cells, with a disphenoid vertex figure. The cantellated order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb, , has alternating rhombicosidodecahedron and icosidodecahedron cells, with a triangular prism vertex figure. The cantitruncated order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb, , has truncated icosidodecahedron, icosidodecahedron, and pentagonal prism cells, with a mirrored sphenoid vertex figure. The runcinated order-5 dodecahedral honeycomb, , has dodecahedron and pentagonal prism cells, with a triangular antiprism vertex figure.
