Truncated octahedron
This polyhedron is obtained by successively cutting off each of the vertices of the octahedron.
A truncated octahedron is a semi-regular convex polyhedron with two properties:
1. All faces are regular polygons of two types, a hexagon and a quadrilateral;
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 truncated octahedron is one of the 13 solids of Archimedes.
Archimedean solids are semiregular polyhedra in the sense that their faces are regular non-similar polygons while the condition of one of the types of spatial symmetry (tetrahedral, octahedral or icosahedral) is preserved.
The figure shows the shape net of a truncated octahedron: To build a model, you can download the pattern in pdf format and print it on an A4 sheet. If you intend to use colored paper, use this shape net.
To assemble polyhedra, we can offer you ready-made patterns that are cut and folded.Truncated octahedron net
If you intend to print it on a color printer, download the color net.Truncated octahedron from the set "Magic Edges"
To do this, you need to use the details of the set Magic Edges 18.
In addition, in the release itself you will find information about the structure of the polyhedron.
