The World of 3-dimension structures
Equi-polyhedron
In modular origami, you can assemble several units to
make 3-dimensional-structures without using glue. You can find these solids in the biology or chemistry textbook when you study.
It is called the 'Equi-polyhedron'. There are 9 kinds that have the congruent polygonal shape surfaces. The same number of surfaces is combined at every point.
Here I'd like to show you polyhedrons that have congruent polygonal-shape faces and have no bump on their surface. There are 5 of them. You can assemble them with appropriate numbers of polygonal shapes in Origami.
