honeycomb structure
Wax cell lattice
A honeycomb structure is an arrangement of hexagonal cells sharing walls, like the wax chambers bees build to store honey.
Engineering borrows the term for materials built on this pattern—lightweight yet strong because the geometry distributes stress efficiently: The aircraft panel uses a honeycomb structure for rigidity without weight.
The design appears in packaging, architecture, and aerospace applications.
