The triangular bifrustum or triangular truncated bipyramid is the second in an infinite series of bifrustum polyhedra. It has 6 trapezoid and 2 triangle faces.
This polyhedron can be constructed by taking a triangular dipyramid and truncating the polar axis vertices, making is into two end-to-end frustums.
A truncated triangular bipyramid can be constructed by connecting two stacked regular octahedra with 3 pairs of tetrahedra around the sides. This represents a portion of the gyrated alternated cubic honeycomb.
