English term or phrase:octahedral
this from a paper of "Fractal Geometry":
"...the »OCTALHEDRAL« fractal that appears in the opening scene was generated by applying this same set of translations to an »OCTAHEDRON«
Explanation: All these translations can be used for the word "octahedral". However, the broader context is essential in choosing the right one. Most responses showed examples in Chemistry. Your context is fractal geometry, however.
My choice here would be "oktaedrisch" since the sentence also mentions the octahedron - "Oktaeder". To get the whole sentence right that you mentioned, a little more context would help; "same set of translations" in this context could potentially be "gleiche Gruppe von Umwandlungen"
