Order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{3,3,6} has octahedral and triangular tiling cells connected in a hexagonal prism vertex figure. The truncated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{3,3,6} has truncated tetrahedra and triangular tiling cells connected in a hexagonal prism vertex figure. The cantellated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{3,3,6} has cuboctahedron and trihexagonal tiling cells connected in a tetrahedron vertex figure. The cantitruncated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{3,3,6} has truncated cuboctahedron and trihexagonal tiling cells connected in an octahedron vertex figure. Order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb is a paracompact regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). It is called "paracompact" because
Honeycomb also an example of geometric efficiency, albeit three-dimensional. The ends are trihedral (i.e., composed of three planes) sections of rhombic dodecahedra, with the dihedral angles of all adjacent surfaces measuring 120°, the angle that minimizes surface area for a given volume. (The angle formed by the edges at the pyramidal apex, known as the tetrahedral angle, is approximately 109° 28' 16" ().) The shape of the cells is such that two opposing honeycomb layers nest into each other, with each facet of the closed ends being shared by opposing cells. Individual cells do not show this geometric perfection: in a
