摘要
Two procedures to derive all types of sphere packings with three contacts per sphere are described. 52 such types have been found. They are characterized by their shortest meshs and related to Wells' three-connected nets, if possible. It is proved that there exists no sphere packing with contact number three and a density lower than 5.5%, i.e. the density of the Heesch-Laves packing.
