Hexagonal tiling honeycomb The half-symmetry construction alternate two types of tetrahedra. The truncated hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has tetrahedral and truncated hexagonal tiling facets, with a tetrahedral vertex figure. It is similar to the 2D hyperbolic truncated order-3 apeirogonal tiling, t{∞,3} with apeirogonal and triangle faces: The bitruncated hexagonal tiling honeycomb or bitruncated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has truncated tetrahedra and hexagonal tiling cells, with a tetrahedral vertex figure. The cantellated hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has octahedral and rhombitrihexagonal tiling cells, with a triangular prism vertex figure. The cantitruncated hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,3}, has truncated tetrahedron and truncated trihexagonal tiling cells, with a
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
