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.
