IsoTruss – 12x Stronger than Steel, 1/12th the Weight of Steel, Eco-Friendly
- peter_d_sherman 6y ago>"What is IsoTruss? IsoTruss is a lightweight and efficient alternative to traditional wood, steel, aluminum and composite structures. The highly symmetric and redundant nature of IsoTruss structures provides an attractive, efficient, and damage tolerant design. The three-dimensional, yet relatively simple geometry of the IsoTruss grid structure provides substantial resistance to local and global column buckling, while lending itself to cost effective fabrication using automated continuous manufacturing."
