Archimedean Solids

thingiverse

Archimedes was a Greek mathematician, inventor, engineer,…. He invented a principle that is named after him, a screw and many other things. But Archemedes also created 13 solids. These solids are made by using regular convex polygons of two or more different types. Each side of these polygons has the same length. They all have a very high symmetry. I gave them a number from 1 to 13…. I gave them these numbers as I found them on the internet. I was able to recreate 11 of them in the 3d design program I use… just 2 of them I’m still figuring out how to design them. A1: Truncated Tetrahedron A2: Cuboctohedron A3: Truncated Cube A4: Truncated Octohedron A5: Rhombicuboctohedraon A6: Truncated Cuboctohedron A7: Snub Cube (not yet designed) A8: Icosidodecahedron A9: Truncated Dodecahedron A10: Truncated Icosahedron A11: Rhombicosododecahedron A12: Truncated Icosidodecahedron A13: Snub Dodecahedron (not yet designed) As i print them i will update the files.
