Icosidodecahedron. How to make pdf template

A polyhedron is obtained by successively cutting off each of the vertices of the icosahedron or dodecahedron.

The icosidodecahedron is a semiregular convex polyhedron with two properties:
1. All faces are regular polygons of two types - a pentagon and a triangle;
2. For any pair of vertices, there is a symmetry of the polyhedron (that is, a motion that translates the polyhedron into itself) that transforms one vertex to another.

The icosidodecahedron is one of the 13 solids of Archimedes.

Archimedean solids are semiregular polyhedra in the sense that their faces are regular polygons. Still, they are not the same, while the condition of one of the types of spatial symmetry: tetrahedral, octahedral, or icosahedral is preserved.

How a polyhedron is formed

The dodecahedron is transformed into the icosidodecahedron by cutting 12 vertices.
The original side of the dodecahedron retains its pentagonal shape, but loses its area.

Icosidodecahedron shape nets

To build a model, you can download the pdf format pattern and print it on an A4 sheet.

If you intend to use colored paper, use this shape net.

You can make a polyhedron model — the icosidodecahedron — by downloading a net — a net of the icosidodecahedron. To do this, you will need 1 sheet of A4.

If you intend to print it on a color printer, download the color net.

You can make a polyhedron model — the icosidodecahedron — by downloading a net — an icosidodecahedron net. To do this, you will need 1 sheet of A4

If you need to make a larger model, then the net will not be able to place on a single sheet of A4.

To build the model, the following details will be required:
- 12 pcs. pentagons
- 20 pcs. triangles
You can make a polyhedron model on your own, either using standard geometric figures or downloading sheets with figures — an icosidodecahedron net. To do this, you will need 2 A4 sheets

Icosidodecahedron from the set "Magic Edges"

To assemble polyhedra, we can offer you ready-made patterns that are cut and folded.
To do this, you need to use the details of the set Magic Edges 19.
Also, in the release itself, you will find information about the structure of the polyhedron.
