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. 

Snub Cubes- Fun Facts

The snub cube, also called the cubus simus or snub cuboctahedron, is an Archimedean solid having 38 faces (32 triangular and 6 square), 60 edges, and 24 vertices.

  • It is a chiral solid, and hence has two enantiomorphous forms known as laevo (left-handed) and dextro (right-handed).  These two are mirror images of each other, and cannot be superimposed, no matter how hard you try :).
  • They can be made by twisting and expanding a cube in a certain way. This process is called snubification.
