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 (geometry) Honeycomb (geometry) In geometry, a honeycomb is a "space filling" or "close packing" of polyhedral or higher-dimensional "cells", so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical "tiling" or "tessellation" in any number of dimensions. Its dimension can be clarified as "n"-honeycomb for a honeycomb of "n"-dimensional space. Honeycombs are usually constructed in ordinary Euclidean ("flat") space. They may also be constructed in non-Euclidean spaces, such as hyperbolic honeycombs. Any finite uniform polytope can be projected to its circumsphere to form a uniform honeycomb in spherical space. There are infinitely many honeycombs, which have
