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.
The Truncated Icosidodecahedron is a 3D shape with 120 vertices, 62 faces, and 180 edges. It is a convex polyhedron, meaning that all of its faces are triangles or quadrilaterals. The Truncated Icosidodecahedron can be constructed by truncating (cutting off) the vertices of an icosidodecahedron, a regular solid with 20 equilateral triangles. The name truncated icosidodecahedron, given originally by Johannes Kepler, is misleading. An actual truncation of an icosidodecahedron has rectangles instead of squares. This is one of the reasons it has a few alternative names:
