The gyroelongated triangular prismatic honeycomb is a uniform space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space. It is composed of cubes and triangular prisms in a ratio of 1:2.


It is created by alternating laters of cubes and triangular prisms, with the prisms alternating in orientation by 90 degrees.

It is related to the elongated triangular prismatic honeycomb which has the triangular prisms with the same orientation.
