In mathematics, a convex polyhedron is defined to be k-equiprojective if every orthogonal projection of the polygon onto a plane, in a direction not parallel to a face of the polyhedron, forms a k-gon. For example, a cube is 6-equiprojective: every projection not parallel to a face forms a hexagon, More generally, every prism over a convex k is (k+2)-equiprojective.[1][2] Zonohedra are also equiprojective.[3] Hasan and his colleagues later found more equiprojective polyhedra by truncating equally the tetrahedron and three other Johnson solids.[4]

Hasan & Lubiw (2008) shows there is an O(nlogn) time algorithm to determine whether a given polyhedron is equiprojective.[5]
