The tetrahedral-octahedral honeycomb is a semiregular tessellation (or honeycomb) in Euclidean 3-space.
There are 2 tetrahedra and 2 octahedra alterating on each edge, and 8 tetrahedra and 6 octahedra around each vertex.
It is one of 28 uniform tessellations of 3-space (called Andreini tessellations) using regular and semiregular polyhedral cells.
