A rectangular cuboid is a special case of a cuboid with rectangular faces in which all of its dihedral angles are right angles. This shape is also called rectangular parallelepiped or orthogonal parallelepiped.
Many writers just call these "cuboids", without qualifying them as being rectangular, but others use cuboid to refer to a more general class of polyhedra with six quadrilateral faces.
