Cannon, Swenson and others have proved numerous theorems about subdivision rules associated to hyperbolic groups with a 2–sphere at infinity. However, few explicit examples are known. We construct an explicit finite subdivision rule for many 3–manifolds obtained from polyhedral gluings. The manifolds that satisfy the conditions include all manifolds created from compact right angled hyperbolic polyhedra, as well as many 3–manifolds with toral or hyperbolic boundary.
Keywords: finite subdivision rule, hyperbolic polyhedra
