Triangular tiling honeycomb infinite cells or vertex figures. There are nine uniform honeycombs in the [3,6,3] Coxeter group family, including this regular form as well as the bitruncated form, t{3,6,3}, with all truncated hexagonal tiling facets. The rectified triangular tiling honeycomb, , has alternating trihexagonal tiling and hexagonal tiling cells, with a triangular prism vertex figure. A lower symmetry of this honeycomb can be constructed as a "cantic order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb", ↔ . A second lower construction, index is ↔ . The truncated triangular tiling honeycomb, is the same as the hexagonal tiling honeycomb, . The bitruncated triangular tiling honeycomb, , has
Honeycomb structure in rocks, tripe, and bone. Man-made honeycomb structures include sandwich-structured composites with honeycomb cores. Man-made honeycomb structures are manufactured by using a variety of different materials, depending on the intended application and required characteristics, from paper or thermoplastics, used for low strength and stiffness for low load applications, to high strength and stiffness for high performance applications, from aluminum or fiber reinforced plastics. The strength of laminated or sandwich panels depends on the size of the panel, facing material used and the number or density of the honeycomb cells within it. Honeycomb composites are used widely in many industries, from
