SPACE FRAME
A space frame is usually an open three-dimensional framework of struts and
braces that defines a structure and distributes its weight evenly in all of its
directions. It also refers to a spatial structure whose members are connected rigidly
to each other so that they transfer moment and shear in addition to axial forces. In
comparison, space trusses are pin-jointed and as a result, their members are in
tension or compression and do not transfer moment or shear.

Hemispherical Node
Most economical space frame system. Fits most geometric
designs.
STEEL CONSTRUCTION
Steel is a strong and hard metal which is made of iron and carbon. It is
widely used in construction and other applications because of their high tensile
strengths and low costs. Carbon, other elements, and inclusions within iron act as
hardening agents that prevent the movement of dislocations that otherwise occur in
the crystal lattices of iron atoms.
