This is Paul Jackson's Cuboctahedron. Originally folded from a square which
was cupboard folded to make a 2x1 rectangle, I believe.

I think this is simply called cuboctahedron though it is technically a 
cubohemioctahedrom. You can see diagrams here:

I believe it was independently discovered by a number of origami/math 
enthusiasts.

Here's a fold:
https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/24909648_1963815606967741_4223276213998355150_n.jpg?oh=ccdad667a4fb7a03f7f12da38be6847b&oe=5AD583D8

It's way similar to Kenneth Kawamura's "Butterfly Ball" but it's folded
from six 2 x 1 rectangles. That makes it very sturdy, so it doesn't have
the effect Kawamura's model has.

What's its name and who's the creator?


Thanks in advance!
