TritanPrism – The Pieces

Polytan prisms are shapes composed of right-isosceles triangular prisms. Such a prism is obtained by extruding a right-isosceles triangle.

By joining several of these prisms, one obtains polytanprisms or stacked polytans.

There are 4 ditanprisms, 10 tritanprisms, and 66 tetratanprisms.

A cuboid cannot be constructed from the 10 tritan prisms, but several other symmetric shapes do exist. Since the shapes consist of only 30 units in total, there is also a good chance of finding a solution without computer assistance.
