You may remember from math class that polyhedra are solid 3D shapes with flat polygonal faces, straight edges, and sharp corners or vertices. Low Poly Spheres are fun to make and display. You can print them in different colors and sizes, and use them as decorations, toys, or educational tools. Low Poly Spheres are a fun way to enjoy 3D printing and mathematics. They are simple, yet beautiful and fascinating. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTruncated Icosahedron - Fun Facts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA truncated icosahedron is a shape with 32 faces: 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. It has 60 corners and 90 edges.
