Triakis octahedron It is constructed from a triakis octahedron by truncating the order-8 vertices. This creates 6 regular octagon faces, and leaves 24 mirror-symmetric pentagons. Triakis octahedron
Octakis truncated cube The dual of the order-8 truncated triakis octahedron is called a octakis truncated cube. It can be seen as a truncated cube with octagonal pyramids augmented to the faces. Truncated cubeOctakis truncated cubeNet
