Compound of ten truncated tetrahedra

This uniform polyhedron compound is a composition of 10 truncated tetrahedra, formed by truncating each of the tetrahedra in the compound of 10 tetrahedra. It also results from composing the two enantiomers of the compound of 5 truncated tetrahedra.

Cartesian coordinates

Cartesian coordinates for the vertices of this compound are all the even permutations of

(±1, ±1, ±3)
(±τ−1, ±(−τ−2), ±2τ)
(±τ, ±(−2τ−1), ±τ2)
