Abstract
A web structure includes a generally hexahedron-shaped frame having a plurality of points or vertices oriented in a manner that no more than three points lie in a common plane. Each pair of the points is connected by a line or frame segment and a plane includes three of the points. One line or frame segment passes through the plane and has first and second ends that are generally equidistant from the plane.

- c) arranging a plurality of the frames in a side-by-side manner that one of the three points in the plane of a frame contacts one of the three points in the plane of an adjacent frame;
- and
- d) arranging a plurality of the frames in a manner that one of the first and second ends of the one frame segment of a frame contacts the other of the first and second ends of the one frame segment of an adjacent frame.
