In Mathematics, a Triangular Bipyramid is a six-sided diamond, made from six isosceles triangle faces. As the name suggests, the Triangular Bipyramid is constructed by joining two Triangular Pyramids (Tetrahedra) along one face. The Origami Triangular Bipyramid is designed by John Montroll, in the book ‘A Plethora of Polyhedra in Origami‘. The last polyhedron that I had made from this book was way back in 2010. I had done the Decahedron then. The Triangular Bipyramid [Continued..]
The diagonally folded triangular unit solids is the last of the polyhedra described in Tomoko Fuse’s ‘Unit Polyhedra Origami’. The model I have folded is the 60 Unit Variant Cube star, consisting of 32 triangular pyramids and 6 square pyramids. The triangular pyramids are quite stable but the square ones are not quite that stable. But they are anyway, surrounding by the triangular pyramids, so the overall structure is very stable. I found that assembling [Continued..]
