Hexagonal tiling honeycomb The half-symmetry construction alternate two types of tetrahedra. The truncated hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has tetrahedral and truncated hexagonal tiling facets, with a tetrahedral vertex figure. It is similar to the 2D hyperbolic truncated order-3 apeirogonal tiling, t{∞,3} with apeirogonal and triangle faces: The bitruncated hexagonal tiling honeycomb or bitruncated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has truncated tetrahedra and hexagonal tiling cells, with a tetrahedral vertex figure. The cantellated hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has octahedral and rhombitrihexagonal tiling cells, with a triangular prism vertex figure. The cantitruncated hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has truncated tetrahedron and truncated trihexagonal tiling cells, with a
Honeycomb structure as far as we can see, is absolutely perfect in economizing labour and wax”. The first paper honeycomb structures might have been made by the Chinese 2000 years ago for ornaments, but no reference for this has been found. Paper honeycombs and the expansion production process has been invented in Halle/Saale in Germany by Hans Heilbrun in 1901 for decorative applications. First honeycomb structures from corrugated metal sheets had been proposed for bee keeping in 1890. For the same purpose, as foundation sheets to harvest more honey, a honeycomb moulding process using a paper paste glue mixture had been patented
