Daniel Kwan's Six Intersecting Pentagonal Prisms (left) and Kawashima Hideaki's Crystal Star
(Origami Tanteidan #106, 11/2007). Both share the same polyhedron weaving properties
and are enjoyable and challenging to make.

     
Compounds of Five Tetrahedra, 3 kinds: Intersecting Solids (reverse engineered), Peter's Snowflake
by Robert Lang (BOS #169) and Five Intersecting Tetrahedral Frames by Tom Hull & Francis Ow

   
Double Cubes: Two Intersecting Cubes
Frames by Francis Ow & Solids by David Brill
6 Intersecting Square Frames
by Jorge Lucero


Snapology Polyhedra by Heinz Strobl. A fun, must-make modular methodology,
good for any polyhedron. The units hold together almost as if by magic!

INTERSECTING FRAMES
These are some highly challenging mathematical models. The first 4 are by Robert Lang and
are named after the world's highest mountain peaks. For assembly help on these
as well as the FIT, Carlos Furuti has very useful VRML images.

Francis Ow's Strut Units are wonderful for building various polyhedra.
