 [No title]
truncate a cuboctahedron by cutting the corners off, you do not get an actual regular truncated cuboctahedron: some of the faces will be irregular polygons.
However, the resulting figure is topologically equivalent to truncated cuboctahedron and can always be deformed until the faces are regular.
Canonical coordinates for the vertices of a truncated cuboctahedron centered at the origin are all permutations of (±1, ±(1+√2), ±(1+√8)).

 Truncated cuboctahedron - Art History Online Reference and Guide
Since each of its faces has point symmetry (equivalently, 180° rotational symmetry), the truncated cuboctahedron is a zonohedron.
If you truncate a cuboctahedron by cutting the corners off, you do not get an actual regular truncated cuboctahedron: some of the faces will be irregular polygons.
The alternative name great rhombicuboctahedron refers to the fact that the 12 square faces lie in the same planes as the 12 faces of the rhombic dodecahedron which is dual to the cuboctahedron.

  Facts about truncated cuboctahedron
The truncated cuboctahedron or great rhombicuboctahedron is an Archimedean solid.
Note that the name truncated cuboctahedron may be a little misleading, if you truncate a cuboctahedron by cutting the corners off, you (according to my intuition) do not get an actual regular truncated cuboctahedron, you get something similar, just with rectangles instead of squares, and either the hexagons or octagons will also not be regular.
Canonical coordinates for the vertices of a truncated cuboctahedron centered at the origin are all permutations of (±1, ±(1+√2), ±(1+√8)).

 Canonical Toroids
Gyrate one truncated cuboctahedron through 45 degrees with respect to the other.
Note that four of the square faces of the gyrated truncated cuboctahedron now lie above the remaining octagonal faces of the original truncated cuboctahedron.
The original truncated cuboctahedron is shown in red with the gyrated polyhedra in yellow, green and blue.

 Quasitruncated Cuboctahedron
Just before starting the design of a new model I wanted to build this one, just because it looked like a very intresting model to me while I was browsing through Magnus Wenningers book "Polyhedron Models" for inspiration.
The Quasitruncated Cuboctahedron is also called Great Truncated Cuboctahedron.
It can be observed easily that this model consists of squares (12) and octagrams (6).

 Folding Modular Models - Polyhedrals by Francis Ow
Using this module and folding the necessary number of modules you can construct a Truncated Cube, Rhombicosidodecahedron, Truncated Octahedron, Icosidodecahedron, Snub Cube, Snub Dodecahedron, Truncated Icosahedron, Truncated Cuboctahedron, etc.
A 90-degree module will give you a cube, a 120-degree module can give you truncated tetrahedron, cuboctahedron, dodecahedron, rhombicuboctahedron, etc.
With a 135-degree module, you can construct a trucated cube, rhombicosidodecahedron, truncated octahedron, isosidodecahedron, snub cube, snub dodecahedron, truncated icosahedron, etc. I suppose by now with your head spinning with possibilities and the ridiculously long names, you will get the idea of the limitless possibility to explore.
