Bicupola
Solid made from 2 cupolae joined base-to-base
Solid made from 2 cupolae joined base-to-base
In geometry, a bicupola is a solid formed by connecting two cupolae on their bases. Here, two classes of bicupola are included because each cupola (bicupola half) is bordered by alternating triangles and squares. If similar faces are attached together the result is an orthobicupola; if squares are attached to triangles it is a gyrobicupola.

In the first column of the two following tables, the symbols are Schoenflies, Coxeter, and orbifold notation, in this order.
Set of orthobicupolae
| Symmetry | Picture | Description | D[2,3]*223 | D[2,4]*224 | D[2,5]*225 | D[2,n]22n* | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| [[Image:Triangular orthobicupola.png | 100px]] | Triangular orthobicupola (J): 8 triangles, 6 squares. Its dual is the trapezo-rhombic dodecahedron | |||||
| [[Image:Square orthobicupola.png | 100px]] | Square orthobicupola (J): 8 triangles, 10 squares. | |||||
| [[Image:Pentagonal orthobicupola.png | 100px]] | Pentagonal orthobicupola (J): 10 triangles, 10 squares, 2 pentagons. | |||||
| n-gonal orthobicupola: 2n triangles, 2n rectangles, 2 n-gons |
Set of gyrobicupolae
An n-gonal gyrobicupola has the same topology as an n-gonal rectified antiprism, Conway polyhedron notation: aAn.
