In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-7-3 triangular honeycomb is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {3,7,3}.

Geometry

It has three order-7 triangular tiling {3,7} around each edge. All vertices are ultra-ideal (existing beyond the ideal boundary) with infinitely many triangular tilings existing around each vertex in an heptagonal tiling vertex figure.
