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
Honeycomb (geometry) polyhedral cells, and having all vertices the same (i.e., the group of [isometries of 3-space that preserve the tiling] is "transitive on vertices"). There are 28 convex examples in Euclidean 3-space, also called the Archimedean honeycombs. A honeycomb is called regular if the group of isometries preserving the tiling acts transitively on flags, where a flag is a vertex lying on an edge lying on a face lying on a cell. Every regular honeycomb is automatically uniform. However, there is just one regular honeycomb in Euclidean 3-space, the cubic honeycomb. Two are "quasiregular" (made from two types of regular cells):
