Cantellated 6-cubes

Add article description


In six-dimensional geometry, a cantellated 6-cube is a convex uniform 6-polytope, being a cantellation of the regular 6-cube.

There are 8 cantellations for the 6-cube, including truncations. Half of them are more easily constructed from the dual 5-orthoplex.
