This figure can be constructed by removing the corners of a cube,
in such a way that the vertices of the resulting triangle are the
midpoints of the edges of the cube that contain that vertex.

It can also be constructed as a truncating a regular octahedron.

This figure has the same group of symmetries as the cube (or the octahedron).
