Abstract: Let $M$ be a $3imes3$ integer matrix which is expanding in the sense that each of its eigenvalues is greater than $1$ in modulus and let $mathcalDsubsetmathbb{Z}^3$ be a digit set containing $|detM|$ elements. Then the unique nonempty compact set $T=T(M,mathcalD)$ defined by the set equation $MT=T+mathcalD$ is called an integral self-affine tile if its interior is nonempty. If $mathcalD$ is of the form $mathcalD=0,v,ldots,(|detM|-1)v$ we say that $T$ has a collinear digit set. The present paper is devoted to the topology of integral self-affine tiles with collinear digit sets. In particular, we prove that a large class of these tiles is homeomorphic to a closed $3$-dimensional ball. Moreover, we show that in this case $T$ carries a natural CW complex structure that is defined in terms of the intersections of $T$ with its neighbors in the lattice tiling $T+z,:,zinmathbb{Z}^3$ induced by $T$. This CW complex structure is isomorphic to the CW complex defined by the truncated octahedron.
