Rhombic Dodecahedron

 rhombic dodecahedron

The rhombic dodecahedron is a solid that pops up in the most unusual places. It is a space-filling solid so it is related to the face-centered cubic crystal system.


Steps

  1. See the general instructions for making a polyhedron from a net.

Notes

  • The coordinates of the vertices of a rhombic dodecahedron are (±1, ±1, ±1) and (0, 0, ±2)
  • The rhombic dodecahedron is the dual of the cuboctahedron.
