  • Publication number: 20090193961
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for the manufacture of composite lattice structures comprising a weaving mechanism 104 configured to position fibers in a lattice structure, the weaving mechanism 104 comprising one or more bobbins 304, each one or more bobbin 304 configured to carry fiber and a plurality of horn gears 302 configured to move the one or more bobbins 304 across the face of the weaving mechanism 104 to control the position of the fiber carried by the one or more bobbins 304 in the lattice structure, and a shape retention structure 108 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.
