The present invention relates to a system consisting of a connection node and at least one first connection body, wherein: the connection node comprises a connection node central body, a first connection element for joining with the connection body, and at least one second connection element for joining with a second connection body; the first connection element and the second connection element are connected or may be connected to the connection node central body; and at least one portion of the connection node central body and/or of the first connection element and/or of the second connection element is manufactured by means of an additive process, for example 3D printing, or by means of a casting process.

Material-optimized connection node

A body node for connecting shell-shaped body structures, of a vehicle, the body node having: a first connecting flange for connection to a first shell-shaped body structure, a second connecting flange for connection to a second shell-shaped body structure, a third connecting flange for connection to a third shell-shaped body structure, and a connecting structure rigidly connecting the connecting flanges with each other and, for example, forming a monolithic body with the connecting flanges.

Lightweight vehicle structure flexibly manufactured
