The order-6 cubic honeycomb is a paracompact regular tiling of 3D hyperbolic space. 6 ideal cubes meet at each edge. All vertices are ideal points at infinity, with infinitely many cubes meeting at each vertex in a triangular tiling arrangement.

This honeycomb can be alternated to produce the uniform alternated order-6 cubic honeycomb.

Representations[edit | edit source]

An order-6 cubic honeycomb has he following Coxeter diagrams:

  • o6o3o4x () (full symmetry)
  • x4o3o3o3*b () (cubes of two different types)
