The cyclotruncated tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb, also known as the quarter cubic honeycomb, is a convex uniform honeycomb. 2 tetrahedra and 6 truncated tetrahedra join at each vertex of this honeycomb. It can be formed by applying two successive alternated faceting to the cubic honeycomb. It is related to the mutetrahedron, whose faces are exactly its hexagonal faces.

Representations[edit | edit source]

A cyclotruncated tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • x3x3o3o3*a () (full symmetry)
  • s4o3x o3*b () (as single alternated faceting)
  • β4o3o4s () (as double alternated faceting)
