# Compound of eight triangular prisms

Compound of eight triangular prisms :

| Type | Uniform compound |
| - | - |
| Index | $UC_{31}$ |
| Polyhedra | 8 triangular prisms |
| Faces | 16 triangles, 24 squares |
| Edges | 72 |
| Vertices | 48 |
| Symmetry group | octahedral $(O_h)$ |
| Subgroup restricting to one constituent | 3-fold dihedral $(D_3)$ |

This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 8 triangular prisms, aligned in pairs with the axes of three-fold rotational symmetry of an octahedron. It results from composing the two enantiomorphs of the compound of 4 triangular prisms.
