A nine-axes turning reuleaux tetrahedron, using a geometry developed by Diogo Sousa.

Once the transformation to the cubic form was solved, the curiosity arose to see how this geometry behaved in other platonic solids, to see if it produced beautiful/interesting models.

From working with the tetrahedron, this model emerged.

Using the shape of a reuleaux tetrahedron has helped, on the one hand, to build a model of manageable dimensions and, on the other hand, to make a small homage to my homeland, using the relatively good resemblance it has with the "Chirimoya" (custard apple), a delicious fruit that is produced especially in the tropical coast of Granada.
