Archimedean solid containing 2 triangles and 2 squares in alternating sequence around each vertex ((3.4)2). The cuboctahedron is the only uniform polyhedron where the side length is equal to the circumradius. As such, it can optionally be constructed with a sphere in the center and 12 rods connecting it to each vertex.

- A cuboctahedron is a uniform three-dimensional polyhedron that can be constructed by rectifying a cube. It can also be created by rectifying an octahedron, or by cantellating a tetrahedron (when considered with this symmetry, it can be called a rhombitetratetrahedron). As a rectified octahedron, it has the same symmetry group as the octahedron, namely octahedral symmetry (Oh). The dual of the cuboctahedron is called a rhombic dodecahedron. The Bowers acronym for the cuboctahedron is co.
