 | Archimedean Solids and Catalan Solids |
The Archimedean solids are the 13 convex semi-regular polyhedra, excluding the
infinite set of prisms and antiprisms. Each one has
regular faces, but not all the same, and all the vertices are of the same type,
that is they share the same relationship to the polyhedron as a whole. The
duals of these models are called the Catalan solids.
Each of these models was made from a single net generated by
Great Stella,
but could also be made using
Stella4D
or
Small Stella.
The nets for the Archimedean solids were printed onto white paper with a colour
printer, with Stella filling in the desired
colours on each face. Click on the images below to see a bigger picture and
