  Compound of eight triangular prisms :
  
  | Type | Uniform compound |
  | - | - |
  | Index | $UC_{31}$ |
  | Polyhedra | 8 triangular prisms |
  | Faces | 16 triangles, 24 squares |
  | Edges | 72 |
  | Vertices | 48 |
  | Symmetry group | octahedral $(O_h)$ |
  | Subgroup restricting to one constituent | 3-fold dihedral $(D_3)$ |
  
  This uniform polyhedron compound is a symmetric arrangement of 8 triangular prisms, aligned in pairs with the axes of three-fold rotational symmetry of an octahedron. It results from composing the two enantiomorphs of the compound of 4 triangular prisms.
