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
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.
