3D model of a (uniform) square antiprism

In geometry, the square antiprism is the second in an infinite family of antiprisms formed by an even-numbered sequence of triangle sides closed by two polygon caps. It is also known as an anticube.[1]

If all its faces are regular, it is a semiregular polyhedron or uniform polyhedron.

A nonuniform D4-symmetric variant is the cell of the noble square antiprismatic 72-cell.
