Faceted - polyhedral 6 dice set

This is the six part dice set in my 'Faceted' dice design. This full set consists of a d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20. Together the dice in this set weigh about 56 grams when printed in steel.

The shape of all dice in this set was designed by indenting the center of each face along sharp geometric edges, which gives the dice a faceted appearance as if they were grown as crystals or made from folded paper. The numbers are designed as cut-outs in the sides, and the dark interior makes them stand out well against the metal of the sides. (For the best readability choose a light finish.) Because these dice are made from steel they have a nice heft to them, but because thet are hollow they are still comfortable to roll. Great care was given in the design to make sure that all dice are well balanced and give a fair roll.

As well as being balanced by weight, the 20 in this set is numbered to be numerically balanced, so that it gives as fair a roll as possible. The layout used for the numbering was develloped by Robert Bosch, Robert Fathauer, and Henry Segerman from The Dice Lab, and injection molded dice of their design are available at the MathArtFun webshop.
