NODE ELEMENTS, KITS, AND METHODS
Examples of first node elements, second node elements, and kits are disclosed. Also, methods for assembling a lattice structure are disclosed. A first node element has a coupling side, the coupling side further having one or more hollow insertion channels, each channel being configured to receive one of the elongated bars, and each channel having a longitudinal axis, and the longitudinal axis of each channel being tilted at an angle with respect to a plane defined by the coupling side. Moreover, the first node element has a contact side, the contact side having an opening, the opening communicating with each of the hollow insertion channels forming a corresponding through-hole such that to form the lattice structure the elongated bars are inserted into the hollow channels from the contact side to the coupling side and traversing the corresponding through-hole.
