An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for the manufacture of composite lattice structures comprising a weaving mechanism configured to position fibers in a lattice structure, the weaving mechanism comprising one or more bobbins , each one or more bobbin configured to carry fiber and a plurality of horn gears configured to move the one or more bobbins across the face of the weaving mechanism to control the position of the fiber carried by the one or more bobbins in the lattice structure, and a shape retention structure configured to hold the fibers in lattice structure. Beneficially, such an apparatus, system, and method would automate the process of manufacturing composite lattice structures and reduce the costs associated with the existing methods for manufacturing such structures.

A structural member having greatly enhanced load bearing capacity per unit weight has a plurality of helical components wrapped around a longitudinal axis. The helical components have straight segments rigidly connected end to end in a helical configuration. In a basic repeating unit, three helical components have a common angular orientation, a common longitudinal axis, and are spaced apart from each other at equal distances. Another three reverse helical components also have a common angular orientation, a common longitudinal axis, and are spaced apart from each other at equal distances, but have an opposing angular orientation. These six helical components appear as a triangle when viewed along the axis due to the straight segments. An additional six helical are configured as above but rotated with respect to the first six components such that the member appears as a six-pointed star when viewed from the axis.

A method and apparatus for fabricating a complex, three-dimensional structure (), such as a truss, from composite fiber/resin includes pulling a plurality of continuous fibers () from a feed source () along a processing path () about a longitudinal axis (). At least some of the fibers are wound around the longitudinal axis in opposite directions () by rotational elements to form helical and reverse helical components () that intersect at nodes (). Select nodes are engaged by engagement members () and are maintained radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis by a support frame () to create sequential discrete segments () in the helical and reverse helical components. The select nodes can be engaged and maintained from outside the helical and reverse helical components. Resin can be applied to the fibers by resin applicator () and cured. A three-dimensional structure () can be formed with one or more continuous fibers forming two or more different components () of the structure and transitioning at transition nodes ().

A three-dimensional grid panel () includes an intermediate grid () disposed between and attaching two spaced-apart grids (). Each of the two spaced-apart grids includes a first plurality of elongated components (), and a second plurality of elongated components () oriented transverse to the first plurality of components and intersecting the first plurality of components at nodes. The intermediate grid includes a first plurality of intermediate components (), each extending between nodes of the two spaced-apart grids, and a second plurality of intermediate components (), each extending between nodes of the two spaced-apart grids, and oriented transverse to the first plurality of intermediate components.

An iso-truss structure () includes at least two helical components () and at least one reverse helical component () attached thereto with opposing angular orientations. Each helical and reverse helical component preferably includes at least four elongate, straight segments () rigidly connected end to end in a helical configuration forming a single, substantially complete rotation about a common axis () forming a first square cross section. The structure may further include at least two rotated helical components () and at least one rotated reverse helical component () which are rotated with respect to the helical and reverse helical components forming a second square cross section, rotated with respect to the first. The structure may be straight, curved, flexible, or form angles.
