In six-dimensional geometry, a cantellated 6-simplex is a convex uniform 6-polytope, being a cantellation of the regular 6-simplex.
There are unique 4 degrees of cantellation for the 6-simplex, including truncations.
Cantellated 6-simplex
Alternate names
- Small rhombated heptapeton (Acronym: sril) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the cantellated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,1,1,2). This construction is based on facets of the cantellated 7-orthoplex.

Bicantellated 6-simplex
Alternate names
- Small prismated heptapeton (Acronym: sabril) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the bicantellated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,1,2,2). This construction is based on facets of the bicantellated 7-orthoplex.

Cantitruncated 6-simplex
Alternate names
- Great rhombated heptapeton (Acronym: gril) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the cantitruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,0,1,2,3). This construction is based on facets of the cantitruncated 7-orthoplex.

Bicantitruncated 6-simplex
Alternate names
- Great birhombated heptapeton (Acronym: gabril) (Jonathan Bowers)
Coordinates
The vertices of the bicantitruncated 6-simplex can be most simply positioned in 7-space as permutations of (0,0,0,1,2,3,3). This construction is based on facets of the bicantitruncated 7-orthoplex.
