Making Structural Members From Wire
Abstract
Structural members of any size, consisting of wire gridwork, fabricated onsite. Rigid beam or column formed from intersecting helices and straight members of relatively flexible wire. Wires joined at their intersections: short wire sections between joints therefore approximate sides of rigid triangular structural subunits. Although originally intended for manufacturing large structures in space, technique has potential for use on Earth.
