You can read a bit about the companyâs history in this article, but I canât point you to the companyâs web site for the simple reason that it doesnât have one. Yes, as amazing as this is, here in mid-2009 Arca Swiss lacks a web site, one of the few companies of any size in the photographic industry without one.
A pyritohedron is a dodecahedron with pyritohedral (T h) symmetry. Like the regular dodecahedron, it has twelve identical pentagonal faces, with three meeting in each of the 20 vertices. However, the pentagons are not constrained to be regular, and the underlying atomic arrangement has no true fivefold symmetry axes.
The Dodecahedron. The dodecahedron has 30 edges, 20 vertices and 12 faces. Dodeca is a prefix meaning âtwelve.â. The dodecahedron is the only polyhedron I know of which is composed entirely of pentagons.
