Abstract
A frame for an opto-mechanical support structure includes an interconnected lattice of frame composite rods defined about an interior space with interstices defined between the frame composite rods. A method of making an opto-mechanical frame includes forming a frame of interconnected lattice of frame composite rods using one or more Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) around a mandrel. The method includes removing the mandrel from an interior space of the frame after forming the frame.
