In geometry, the dodecagonal prism is the tenth in an infinite set of prisms, formed by square sides and two regular dodecagon caps.
If faces are all regular, it is a semiregular polyhedron.
Use
It is used in the construction of two prismatic uniform honeycombs:
Omnitruncated triangular-hexagonal prismatic honeycomb |
Truncated hexagonal prismatic honeycomb |
