In geometry, a cuboctahedral hyperprism is a convex uniform polychoron (four dimensional polytope). This polychoron has 16 polyhedral cells: 2 cuboctahedra connected by 8 triangular prisms, and 6 cubes.
It is one of 18 uniform hyperprisms created by using uniform prisms to connect pairs of parallel Platonic solids and Archimedean solids.
