We consider Meissner polyhedra in ℝ3. These are constant width bodies whose boundaries consist of pieces of spheres and spindle tori. We define these shapes by taking appropriate intersections of congruent balls and show that they are dense within the space of constant width bodies in the Hausdorff topology. This density assertion was essentially proved by Sallee. However, we offer a modern viewpoint taking into consideration the recent progress in understanding ball polyhedra and in constructing constant width bodies based on these shapes.
