Description

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.

Icosidodecahedron - Fun Facts

An icosidodecahedron is a polyhedron with 20 triangles and 12 pentagons as faces. It has 30 vertices and 60 edges. It is one of the Archimedean solids, which are made of regular polygons. Some interesting facts about icosidodecahedra:

- The icosidodecahedron is related to the dodecahedron and the icosahedron, which are Platonic solids. If you cut off the corners of a dodecahedron or an icosahedron, you get an icosidodecahedron. - In Star Trek Universe , the Vulcan game of logic Kal-Toh has the goal to create a holographic icosidodecahedron. - Icosidodecahedra can be found in all eukaryotic cells, including human cells, as Sec13/31 COPII coat-protein formations .
