Stella (software)

The programs contain a large library of polyhedra which can be manipulated and altered in various ways.

Operations which can be performed on these polyhedra include stellation, faceting, augmentation, dualization (also called "reciprocation"), creating convex hulls, and others.

All versions of the program enable users to print nets for polyhedra.

These nets may then be assembled into actual three-dimensional polyhedral models of great beauty and complexity.

They can be selected from a library or generated from user created polyhedral vertex figure files.
