In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-3-infinite hexagonal honeycomb or (6,3,∞ honeycomb) is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {6,3,∞}. It has infinitely many hexagonal tiling {6,3} around each edge.
In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-7-3 hexagonal honeycomb (or 6,7,3 honeycomb) a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). Each infinite cell consists of an order-6 hexagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a 2-hypercycle , each of which has a limiting circle on the ideal sphere.
The hexagonal comb of the honey bee has been admired and wondered about from ancient times. The first man-made honeycomb, according to Greek mythology, is said to have been manufactured by Daedalus from gold by lost wax casting more than 3000 years ago. [2]
The runcicantellated hexagonal tiling honeycomb or runcitruncated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t 0,2,3 {6,3,3}, has truncated tetrahedron, hexagonal prism, and rhombitrihexagonal tiling cells, with an isosceles-trapezoidal pyramid vertex figure.
In geometry, a honeycomb is a space filling or close packing of polyhedral or higher-dimensional cells, so that there are no gaps. It is an example of the more general mathematical tiling or tessellation in any number of dimensions. Its dimension can be clarified as n-honeycomb for a honeycomb of n-dimensional space.
The cantitruncated order-6 dodecahedral honeycomb, t 0,1,2 {5,3,6} has truncated icosidodecahedron, hexagonal tiling, and hexagonal prism facets, with a mirrored sphenoid vertex figure. Runcinated order-6 dodecahedral honeycomb
In three-dimensional hyperbolic geometry, the alternated order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb is a uniform compact space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb).As an alternation, with Schläfli symbol h{4,3,6} and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram or , it can be considered a quasiregular honeycomb, alternating triangular tilings and tetrahedra around each vertex in a trihexagonal tiling vertex figure.
The rectified order-5 hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t 1 {6,3,5}, has icosahedron and trihexagonal tiling facets, with a pentagonal prism vertex figure. It is similar to the 2D hyperbolic infinite-order square tiling, r{∞,5} with pentagon and apeirogonal faces. All vertices are on the ideal surface.
