The truncated cube, or truncated hexahedron, is an Archimedean solid. Canonical coordinates for the vertices of a truncated hexahedron centered at the origin are (±ξ, ±1, ±1), (±1, ±ξ, ±1) and (±1, ±1, ±ξ), where ξ = √2 − 1.

It has 6 regular octagonal faces, 8 regular triangular faces, 24 vertices and 36 edges.
