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 and a shape retention structure (108) configured to hold the fibers in the lattic structure. The weaving mechanism (104) includes one or more bobbins (304), each of the one or more bobbins (304) configured to carry fiber. The weaving mechanism (104) includes 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 in the 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. |
