Abstract (en)
A space frame structure (1) comprises a plurality of nodes (10) and a plurality of struts (20). Each strut (20) connects two nodes (10) of the plurality of nodes (10). Each strut (20) has a longitudinal direction (B), two ends and a connector (21) at each end. Each node (10) has a plurality of receivers (11) for receiving connectors (21). Each receiver (11) comprises a lateral insertion opening for inserting one of the connectors (21) of one of the struts (20) in an insertion direction (A). The insertion direction (A) is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (B) of the strut (20). A connector (21) of a strut (20) is connected to a receiver (11) of a node (10) by a snap-fit connection.
