Unless someone can show me how to generate a corner cube prism (one of the most technologically important prisms, and quite simple), this is coloring. I tried

  Is that a regular faced polyhedra? From a google search it seems like this is a class of shape that combines flat faces and curved ones.

    It’s a cube truncated to preserve three adjacent faces. Both the solid prism and hollow (just mirror surfaces) work as practical retroreflectors. You can’t build machine tools, semiconductor processing tools, or accurately tighten the bolts that hold on a 777’s wing without them. If you have an array of them on the moon, you can measure the distance to the moon, at one instant, to an accuracy of a millimeter.

  That isn’t a convex polyhedron, A retroreflective surface would actually be the interface between tessellated cubes.
