The mucubic honeycomb or petrial cubic honeycomb is a regular skew polychoron consisting of 4 mucubes. It shares its faces, edges, and vertices with the cubic honeycomb, and it has a petrial octahedron vertex figure. It is also the Petrie dual of the cubic honeycomb.[1]

Vertex coordinates[edit | edit source]

The vertex coordinates of the mucubic honeycomb are the same as that of its regiment colonel, the cubic honeycomb.
