Abstract

An offset core device configured to form a high-strength truss structure, and a method for making the offset core device. The device includes a plurality of panels, each panel having a network of a first plurality of truss segments and a second plurality of truss segments, each formed along a first direction. The plurality of panels also include a first joint and a second joint formed along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction, and at least one cut line formed along the first direction between the first plurality of truss segments and the second plurality of truss segments. The plurality of panels are configured to deploy to a truss structure by at least one of the first plurality of truss segments pivoting at the first joint, and at least one of the second plurality of truss segments pivoting at the second joint, wherein the first joint is offset from the second joint along the first direction.
