The dodecagrammic prism or stwip is a prismatic uniform polyhedron. It consists of 2 dodecagrams and 12 squares. Each vertex joins one dodecagram and two squares. As the name suggests, it is a prism based on a dodecagram.

Vertex coordinates

A dodecagrammic prism of edge length 1 has vertex coordinates given by:

• $\left(±\frac{\sqrt3-1}{2},\,±\frac{\sqrt3-1}{2},\,±\frac12\right),$
• $\left(±\frac12,\,±\frac{2-\sqrt3}{2},\,±\frac12\right),$
• $\left(±\frac{2-\sqrt3}{2},\,±\frac12,\,±\frac12\right).$
