Honeycomb structure aerospace industries, automotive and furniture to packaging and logistics. The material takes its name from its visual resemblance to a bee's honeycomb – a hexagonal sheet structure. The hexagonal comb of the honey bee has been admired and wondered about from ancient times. The first man-made honeycomb, according to Greek mythology, is said to have been manufactured by Daedalus from gold by lost wax casting more than 3000 years ago. Marcus Varro reports that the Greek geometers Euclid and Zenodorus found that the hexagon shape makes most efficient use of space and building materials. The interior ribbing and hidden chambers
Cubic honeycomb uniform honeycombs constructed by the formula_1 Coxeter group. The symmetry can be multiplied by the symmetry of rings in the Coxeter–Dynkin diagrams: <HR> The rectified cubic honeycomb or rectified cubic cellulation is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of octahedra and cuboctahedra in a ratio of 1:1. John Horton Conway calls this honeycomb a cuboctahedrille, and its dual an oblate octahedrille. The "rectified cubic honeycomb" can be orthogonally projected into the euclidean plane with various symmetry arrangements. There are four uniform colorings for the cells of this honeycomb with reflective symmetry, listed by their
