The Truncated Octahedron
A semi-regular polyhedron with two hexagons and a square meeting at each vertex.
The truncated icosahedron is one of the thirteen archimedian solids. It is also the unit cell for face centred cubic (FCC) packing. It can be created by slicing suitable sections off the vertices of either a cube or an octahedron and thus may be inscribed in either solid.
