Honeycomb structure cells, and circular-cored square cells. The relative densities of these cells will depend on their new geometry. Honeycomb structure Honeycomb structures are natural or man-made structures that have the geometry of a honeycomb to allow the minimization of the amount of used material to reach minimal weight and minimal material cost. The geometry of honeycomb structures can vary widely but the common feature of all such structures is an array of hollow cells formed between thin vertical walls. The cells are often columnar and hexagonal in shape. A honeycomb shaped structure provides a material with minimal density and relative high
Tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb an octahedron at one end and a tetrahedron at the other. It is one of 28 convex uniform honeycombs. It has a "gyrated" form called the gyroelongated alternated cubic honeycomb with the same arrangement of cells at each vertex. Tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb The tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb, alternated cubic honeycomb is a quasiregular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of alternating octahedra and tetrahedra in a ratio of 1:2. Other names include half cubic honeycomb, half cubic cellulation, or tetragonal disphenoidal cellulation. John Horton Conway calls this honeycomb a tetroctahedrille, and its dual a dodecahedrille. It is vertex-transitive with
