Triangular tiling honeycomb truncated hexagonal tiling cells, with a tetrahedral vertex figure. The cantellated triangular tiling honeycomb, , has truncated hexagonal tiling and triangular prism cells, with a triangular prism vertex figure. It can also be constructed as a half-symmetry form, cantic snub triangular tiling honeycomb, , symmetry [3,6,3]. The cantitruncated triangular tiling honeycomb, , has rhombitrihexagonal tiling and hexagonal prism cells, with a tetrahedron vertex figure. The runcinated triangular tiling honeycomb, , has hexagonal tiling and triangular prism cells, with a hexagonal antiprism vertex figure. The runcitruncated triangular tiling honeycomb, , has hexagonal tiling, rhombitrihexagonal tiling, triangular prism, and dodecagonal prism cells.
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
