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 and its dual triangular pyramidille. Four cells exist around each vertex: The "cantitruncated cubic honeycomb" can be orthogonally projected into the euclidean plane with various symmetry arrangements. Cells can be shown in two different symmetries. The linear Coxeter diagram form can be drawn with one color for each cell type. The bifurcating diagram form can be drawn with two types (colors) of truncated cuboctahedron cells alternating. The dual of the "cantitruncated cubic honeycomb" is called a triangular pyramidille, with Coxeter diagram, . This honeycomb cells represents the fundamental domains of formula_2 symmetry. A cell can be as 1/24 of a
