Low Poly Spheres: Cuboctahedron

Low Poly Spheres: Low-poly, high-fun!

Low Poly Spheres is a series 3D printable models of polyhedra that look like low-poly spheres. You may remember from math class that polyhedra are solid 3D shapes with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and sharp corners or vertices. Low Poly Spheres are fun to make and display. You can print them in different colors and sizes, and use them as decorations, toys, or educational tools. Low Poly Spheres are a fun way to enjoy 3D printing and mathematics. They are simple, yet beautiful and fascinating. 

Cuboctahedron - Fun Facts

A cuboctahedron is a shape with 8 triangles and 6 squares as faces. It has 12 corners and 24 edges. It is one of the 13 Archimedean solids, which are shapes that have the same kind of polygons at each vertex,

Some fun facts about the cuboctahedron:

• It can be made by cutting off the corners of a cube or an octahedron
• It can also be seen as two pyramids joined at their bases
• It is the shape of some crystals, such as argentite, a silver ore.
• It is the shape of some dice used in role-playing games, such as Dungeons and Dragons.
