If I take a finite collection of polyhedra and glue their faces together (potentially gluing two faces of the same polyhedron together) to get a closed 3-manifold, is this always a CW-complex? Can I use the Euler characteristic on the number of vertices, edges, faces and polyhedra?

Gluing pairs of faces of polyhedra to each other, and potentially gluing faces of polyhedra tofaces of the same polyhedron. – zyx123 Oct 13 '22 at 03:31
