I've been exploring the truncated icosahedron, aka a soccer ball. Split a basic one into two parts for printing clarity. The second one I cut the

I'm working on an openscad script to generate cuts for a sliceform of a openscad form. This takes advantage of the new 2d features of openscad a

This is a cool example of wire-sculpture:  a single piece of wire woven into the shape of the torus. (I doubt you can play pool on this one, though.) The author of the blog post, George Hart, is th…

This piece requires a bit of explanation.  I was playing around with the concept of dual solids, in this case, a cube and an octahedron.  The pictures don't quite show the full complexity of the...

SimplyDifferently.org: Polyhedra Notes

A container of mathematical games, gadget, puzzles and software.

So I've finally finished the pair of beaded shapes I was working on over the last few months! Here they are - a rhombic hexecontahedron and what is probably best described as a hyperbolic dodecahedron: So around the start of July I was reading about various polyhedra and I came across a rhombic hexecontahedron (the…

A polyhedron is a solid with flat faces. Will Tait, a classically trained artist, constructed a series of dodecahedrons from wood panels:

Pull-up Polyhedra : Cube: This is a pull-up polyhedra made from a paper net ( a 2D shape) and some string. When mixed with some engineering and creativity this transforms into a 3D cube.
