Square tiling honeycomb hexagonal prism, octagonal prism facets, with a tetrahedron vertex figure. The alternated omnitruncated square tiling honeycomb (or omnisnub square tiling honeycomb), h(t{4,4,3}), has snub square tiling, snub cube, triangular antiprism, square antiprism, and tetrahedron cells, with an irregular vertex figure. The alternated square tiling honeycomb is a paracompact uniform honeycomb in hyperbolic 3-space, composed of cube, and square tiling facets in a cuboctahedron vertex figure. The alternated rectified square tiling honeycomb is a paracompact uniform honeycomb in hyperbolic 3-space. Square tiling honeycomb In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the square tiling honeycomb, is one of 11 paracompact regular honeycombs. It
Honeycomb also an example of geometric efficiency, albeit three-dimensional. The ends are trihedral (i.e., composed of three planes) sections of rhombic dodecahedra, with the dihedral angles of all adjacent surfaces measuring 120°, the angle that minimizes surface area for a given volume. (The angle formed by the edges at the pyramidal apex, known as the tetrahedral angle, is approximately 109° 28' 16" ().) The shape of the cells is such that two opposing honeycomb layers nest into each other, with each facet of the closed ends being shared by opposing cells. Individual cells do not show this geometric perfection: in a
