In geometry, a triakis tetrahedron (or kistetrahedron) is a Catalan solid with 12 faces. The triakis tetrahedron can be seen as a tetrahedron with a triangular pyramid added to each face. You can use it as a 12 faced die.
This is a modular origami and the units are the same used on my Excavated Dodecahedron. The 6 units are well connected without glue. You can make it with or without the color changed edges on the base of the pyramids, depending on which side of the unit you use.
You can use the same unit to build other figures like the Triakis Octahedron, Triakis Icosahedron, Tetrakis Hexahedron and Pentakis Dodecahedron.
