3D view of a hexakis octahedron (
animation )
The disdyakis dodecahedron (from Greek ἑξάκις hexakis "six" and octahedron "octahedron") or Disdyakisdodekaeder ( Greek δίς dis "twice", δυάκις dyakis "twice" and dodecahedron "dodecahedron") is a convex polyhedron , which consists of 48 irregular triangles composed and belongs to the Catalan bodies . It is dual to the truncated cuboctahedron and has 26 vertices and 72 edges.
Emergence
Rhombic dodecahedron as a base
If pyramids with the flank lengths and are placed on the 12 boundary surfaces of a rhombic dodecahedron (edge length ) , a hexakis octahedron is created, provided the following condition is met:

{\ displaystyle {\ tfrac {a} {3}} {\ sqrt {6}} <b <{\ tfrac {2} {9}} a {\ sqrt {15}}}
For the above-mentioned minimum value of the pyramids on top have the height 0, so that only the rhombic dodecahedron with the edge length remains.

Truncated cuboctahedron as a base
Construction of the triangle on the truncated cuboctahedron
By connecting the centers of three edges that meet in every corner of the truncated cuboctahedron, a triangle is created whose circumference is at the same time the incircle of the triangle, the boundary surface of the hexakisoctahedron. In this special type, all face angles are the same (≈ 155 °) and there is a uniform edge sphere radius .
Let d be the edge length of the truncated cuboctahedron, then the resulting side lengths of the triangle are given by

The hexakisoctahedron occurs naturally as a crystal form . It is the general planar shape of the hexakisoctahedral crystal class m 3 m.
The hexakis octahedron is also used as a dice (D48).
