Cuboctahedron (free vector Graphic)

From Synergetics by Buckminster Fuller

"430.04 The vector equilibrium is a truncated cube made by bisecting the edges and truncating the eight corners of the cube to make the four axes of the four planes of the vector equilibrium. The vector equilibrium has been called the "cuboctahedron" or " cubo- octahedron" by crystallographers and geometers of the non-experimentally-informed and non-energy-concerned past. As such, it was one of the original 13 Archimedean "solids." "
