  Net (polyhedron) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry the net of a polyhedron is an arrangement of edge-joined polygons in the plane which can be folded to become the faces of the polyhedron.
Polyhedral nets are a useful aid to the study of polyhedra and solid geometry in general, as they allow for models of polyhedra to be constructed from material such as thin cardboard.
For example, a net of a polychoron, or four-dimensional polytope, is composed of polyhedral cells that are connected by their faces and all occupy the same three-dimensional space, just as the polygon faces of a net of a polyhedron are connected by their edges and all occupy the same plane.

 Net -- from Wolfram MathWorld
It refers to a plane diagram in which the polyhedron edges of a polyhedron are shown, a point set satisfying certain uniformity of distribution conditions, and a topological generalization of a sequence.
The net of a polyhedron must in general also specify which edges are to be joined since there might be ambiguity as to which of several possible polyhedra a net might fold into.
Nets are used in the study of the Riemann integral.

When a polyhedron is in geometry, it is simply a three dimensional solid which consists of a collection of polygons, and are usually joined at their edges.
A polyhedron is the three-dimensional version of the more general polytope{in the geometry sense} which could be defined in arbitrary dimension.
The plural of polyhedron is "polyhedra", or sometimes "polyhedrons".

Perhaps the central problem in decorating a polyhedron's folding net -- and a problem that students run into almost immediately in their work -- is the task of imagining what a particular decoration, in its "flat" form, will look like when the folding net is finally assembled into a three-dimensional solid.
The first allows the user to draw with the mouse on the folding net; as she does so, the system simultaneously presents a line in the appropriate position on the visible 3D solid on the screen.
Figure 5 shows this feature in operation: the user is drawing a line on the folding net of the octahedron, and the system is displaying not only that line but also the line that would appear if the folding net were to be assembled into a 3D solid.

 Nuts About Nets!
The net concept generalizes readily to convex polytopes of n dimensions, for n greater than or equal to 2: the net of a convex n-dimensional polytope is simply an assemblage of (n–1)-dimensional polytopes in (n–1)-dimensional space connected along some of their facets.
In the “netting trade,” we call this kind of net a “modular tower net with spiral staircase.” It is made of ten identical modules of twelve dodecahedra joined into a “tower.” This arrangement forces one set of ten dodecahedra (colored white) to spiral helically around the tower formed by the other 110.
A Johnson polyhedron, named after Norman W. Johnson, who originally proposed and solved the problem of finding and enumerating them, is a convex polyhedron whose faces are all regular polygons but which is not a uniform polyhedron.

To form a planar graph from a polyhedron, place a light source near one face of the polyhedron, and a plane on the other side.

A rotation matrix is applied to the polyhedron object, new screen coordinates are calculated, and the solid object is redisplayed.
It closes each polyhedron by creating an additional new face consisting of edge-intersection points and vertices which coincide with the splitting plane, taking care to order and orient the new face in a manner consistent with the rest of the polyhedron.

 Polyhedron, Polyhedra, Polytopes - Numericana
The dual of a polyhedron is the polyhedron obtained by switching the roles of vertices and faces: Edges of the dual connects nodes associated with adjacent faces of the original polyhedron (dual polyhedroa have the same number of edges).
The most "generic" way is to use for polyhedra the same naming scheme as for polygons, by counting the number or their faces: Thus, a tetrahedron has 4 faces, a pentahedron has 5, a dotriacontahedron (also called triacontakaidihedron) has 32 faces.
In such families, the polyhedron is named using the adjective corresponding to the name of the polygon it's built on (e.g., "hexagonal").

A dodecahedron is the only regular polygon which uses pentagons, and there are no polyhedrons which use only hexagons, although a buckyball uses both hexagons and pentagons.

 Unfolding -- from Wolfram MathWorld
An unfolding is the cutting along edges and flattening out of a polyhedron to form a net.
Furthermore, for a polyhedron with no coplanar faces, at least one edge cut must be made from each vertex or else the polyhedron will not flatten.
Examples of different polyhedra that can be constructed from the same net are not difficult to construct, but Fukuda conjectured that every convex polyhedron can be uniquely constructed from any of its unfoldings.

When one of the icons in this Net Decorations window is selected, an illustrative Scheme expression is presented in the transcript window; by evaluating this expression, the user is able to decorate faces of the folding net in the manner depicted by the selected icon.
The resulting net is shown at right in Figure 8, and is much closer to the sort of net that a typical crafter would want to work with.
This technique (which we have dubbed "net twiddling") allows the user to "slide" faces from one location on the net to another, as long as the face is connected to the rest of the net by only one edge.

Intuitively, distortion in polyhedral maps is greater near vertices and edges, where the polyedron is farther from the inscribed sphere; also, increasing the number of faces is likely to reduce distortion (after all, a sphere is equivalent to a polyhedron with infinitely many faces).
