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) The tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb and gyrated tetrahedral-octahedral honeycombs are generated by 3 or 2 positions of slab layer of cells, each alternating tetrahedra and octahedra. An infinite number of unique honeycombs can be created by higher order of patterns of repeating these slab layers. A honeycomb having all cells identical within its symmetries is said to be cell-transitive or isochoric. In the 3-dimensional euclidean space, a cell of such a honeycomb is said to be a "space-filling polyhedron". A necessary condition for a polyhedron to be a space-filling polyhedron is that its Dehn invariant must be zero, ruling out any of
