The Quarter cubic honeycomb is a space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of tetrahedra and truncated tetrahedra in a ratio of 1:1.
It is vertex-transitive with 6 truncated tetrahedra and 2 tetrahedra around each vertex.
It is one of 28 convex uniform honeycombs.
The faces of this honeycomb's cells form four families of parallel planes, each with a 3.6.3.6 tiling.
Its vertex figure is an isosceles antiprism: two equilateral triangles joined by six isosceles triangles.
