Compound of eight triangular prisms Type Uniform compound Index UC31 Polyhedra 8 triangular prisms Faces 16 triangles,
24 squaresEdges 72 Vertices 48 Symmetry group octahedral (Oh) Subgroup restricting to one constituent 3-fold dihedral (D3) This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 8 triangular prisms, aligned in pairs with the axes of three-fold rotational symmetry of an octahedron. It results from composing the two enantiomorphs of the compound of 4 triangular prisms.
