The present disclosure is drawn to a lattice support structure, comprising a plurality of fiber-based cross supports intersecting one another to form a multi-layered node. The multi-layered node can be consolidated within a rigid mold in the presence of resin, heat, and pressure. In another embodiment, a lattice support structure can comprise a first cross support comprising fiber material; a second cross support comprising a fiber material, said second cross support intersecting the first cross support; and multi-layered nodes located where the first cross support intersects the second cross support. The multi-layered nodes can comprise at least two layers of the first cross support separated by a least one layer of the second cross support. Also, one of the first cross support or the second cross support can be curved from node to node.
A lattice support structure, comprising a plurality of fiber-based cross supports intersecting one another to form a multi-layered node, said multi-layered node being consolidated within a groove of a rigid mold in the presence of resin, heat, and pressure, wherein said multi-layered node comprises at least two layers of the cross supports.
