A plurality of hubs are joined to frame struts thereby forming a space frame structure, wherein the hubs have monolithic bodies with protruding joints adapted for receiving and joining with the frame struts using tubular sleeves. Axes of the joints are aligned to converge at a common point to avoid rotational moment forces on the hubs. The hubs are preferably fabricated by a 3D printing method in a structural material. In a method of the invention, the struts, joint diameters and joint lengths are sized and positioned to avoid interference between adjacent struts.
