Abstract:
A method of forming an iso-grid structure may include filling multiple pockets of the iso-grid structure with a filler material, attaching a support structure to the perimeter of the iso-grid structure, shaping the iso-grid and support structures, and removing the support structure from the iso-grid structure. The support structure may be thinned and stretched during the shaping process.
