Truncated cuboctahedral prism


In geometry, a truncated cuboctahedral prism or great rhombicuboctahedral prism is a convex uniform polychoron.
It is one of 18 convex uniform polyhedral prisms created by using uniform prisms to connect pairs of Platonic solids or Archimedean solids in parallel hyperplanes.

Alternative names

A full snub cubic antiprism or omnisnub cubic antiprism can be defined as an alternation of an truncated cuboctahedral prism, represented by ht0,1,2,3, or, although it cannot be constructed as a uniform polychoron. It has 76 cells: 2 snub cubes connected by 12 tetrahedrons, 6 square antiprisms, and 8 octahedrons, with 48 tetrahedrons in the alternated gaps. There are 48 vertices, 192 edges, and 220 faces. It has + symmetry, order 48.
A construction exists with two uniform snub cubes in snub positions with two edge lengths in a ratio of around 1 : 1.138.

Also related is the bialternatosnub octahedral hosochoron, constructed by removing alternating long rectangles from the octagons, but is also not uniform. It has 40 cells: 2 rhombicuboctahedra, 6 rectangular trapezoprisms, 8 octahedra, 24 triangular prisms filling the gaps, and 48 vertices. It has symmetry, order 48. Its vertex figure is a chiral hexahedron topologically identical to the tetragonal antiwedge.
