An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. The various octahedra have faces which may be triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons or heptagons. Any one of these could be a base.

How do you make a 3D octahedron?

An octahedron is a closed 3-d shape with 8 polygonal faces. There are 257 topologically different convex octahedra. The simplest octahedron to make is probably the heptagon based right pyramid.

If the triangles are folded to meet at a point above the heptagonal base you will have an octahedron.
