Abstract
A space frame is provided having a first set of nodes located along a first surface and a second set of nodes located along a second surface, and a unitary cell. The second surface non-intersecting the first surface. The unitary cell comprises at least four continuous web elements and extending in three dimensions. The unitary cell spans at least two nodes of the first set of nodes and at least two nodes of the second set of nodes.

A space frame comprising:
- a first set of nodes located along a first surface;
- a second set of nodes located along a second surface, the second surface non-intersecting the first surface;
- and
- a unitary cell comprising at least tour continuous web elements and extending in three dimensions, the unitary cell spanning at least two nodes of the first set of nodes and at least two nodes of the second set of nodes.

A space frame comprising:
- a first set of nodes located along a first surface;
- a second set of nodes located along a second surface, the second surface non-intersecting with the first surface;
- and
- a unitary three-dimensional strut structure comprising a set of three extensions separately extending from a root node to a set of three other nodes of the space frame, respectively,
- wherein the root node and one of the three other nodes are located along the first surface, and
- wherein two of the three other nodes are located along the second surface.
3 more elements
A method of creating a space frame comprising the steps of:
- forming a planar sheet of material comprising at least six nodes;
- and
- bending the planar sheet such that at least three of the at least six nodes are positioned along a first surface and the remaining nodes of the at least six nodes are positioned along a second surface, the second surface non-intersecting the first surface, thereby forming a unitary cell that extends in three dimensions.
