Pentakis Dodecahedron
Pentakis Dodecahedron
This is a wireframe model of one of the thirteen types of Catalan polyhedra. Each of its 60 faces is the same isosceles triangle. Select white for best value, or add $10 to have the model dyed red.

Design Process
Designed by mathematician and artist mathgrrl to be a perfectly stylized wireframe, using software to create a precise digital model. The model is then professionally 3D printed in a durable nylon plastic using Selective Laser Sintering.

Fun Facts
The Pentakis Dodecahedron has 60 faces, 90 edges, and 32 vertices.
- One of the 13 Catalan solids
- Each face is the same shape
- Dual of the Truncated Icosahedron
- It's a Dodecahedron with five-sided pyramids added to each face
- If you make the pyramids a little taller, then pairs of triangles combine to make rhombuses and you get another Catalan solid, the Rhombic Triacontahedron (!)
