The hexagonal prismatic honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space made up of hexagonal prisms.
It is constructed from a hexagonal tiling extruded into prisms.
It is one of 28 convex uniform honeycombs.
This honeycomb can be alternated into the gyrated tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb, with pairs of tetrahedra existing in the alternated gaps (instead of a triangular bipyramid).
Famous quotes containing the word prismatic:
“Then a small rainbow like a trellis gate,
A very small moon-made prismatic bow,
Stood closely over us through which to go.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
