Convex Uniform Honeycomb - Noncompact Forms

Noncompact Forms

Examples (partially drawn)
Cubic slab honeycomb
 Alternated hexagonal slab honeycomb

If cells are allowed to be uniform tilings, more uniform honeycombs can be defined:

Families:

  • x: Cubic prismatic slab honeycomb (3 forms)
  • x: Tri-hexagonal prismatic slab honeycomb (8 forms)
  • x: Triangular prismatic slab (No new forms)
  • xx: = Cubic column honeycomb (1 form)
  • x: Prismatic column honeycomb
  • xx: = - = (Same as cubic slab honeycomb family)

Famous quotes containing the word forms:

    “Year chases year, decay pursues decay,
    Still drops some joy from with’ring life away;
    New forms arise, and diff’rent views engage,”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
