The truncated cubic prism or ticcup, is a prismatic uniform polychoron that consists of 2 truncated cubes, 6 octagonal prisms, and 8 triangular prisms. Each vertex joins 1 truncated cube, 1 octagonal prism, and 2 triangular prisms. As the name suggests, it is a prism based on the truncated cube. As such it is also a convex segmentochoron (designated K-4.99 on Richard Klitzing's list).

The truncated cubic prism can be obtained from a small rhombated tesseract by removing two small rhombicuboctahedron atop truncated cube segmentochora. This diminishing cuts the lateral small rhombicuboctahedra into their equatorial octagonal prisms only. It is also a central segment of the small prismatotetracontoctachoron.

The truncated cubic prism has the following Coxeter diagrams:

  • x x4x3o (full symmetry)
  • xx4xx3oo&#x (bases considered separately)
  • xxxx xwwx4xoox&#xt (BC2×A1 axial, octagonal prism-first)
