How can I generate flat polar/axi-symmetric polyhedral faces tiling to a parabolic reflector surface?
Cheers.

Regular polyhedra cut from a sphere and parabolic reflector meridian are two different things.
In order to define an axisymmetric reticulated net you need to define what geometric parameter like length/angle you want to hold constant. For constant rhombus side size say 1/10th of focal length. In the image parallels can be ignored, arc is shown one continuous line instead of several connected edges.
