Device for implementing node-to-node connection

The invention relates to a device for implementing a node-to-node connection. Techniques for joining nodes and sub-components are presented herein. The additively fabricated first node or sub-component has a slot. An additive manufactured second node or sub-component has a tenon configured to extend into and mate with the slot to form a mortise connection between the first and second node or sub-component. In some aspects, the tongue-and-groove connection may extend generally around the periphery of the node or sub-component. In other aspects, a first sub-component having a fluid pipe interface may be coupled to a second sub-component having a fluid pipe interface via a tongue-and-groove connection, allowing fluid to flow between sub-components of the resulting integrated component. 本申请涉及用于实施节点对节点连接的设备。本文中提出了用于接合节点和子部件的技术。加成制造的第一节点或子部件具有槽。加成制造的第二节点或子部件具有榫，其构造为延伸到槽中并与槽配合，以在第一和第二节点或子部件之间形成榫槽连接部。在一些方面中，榫槽连接部可以大致围绕节点或子部件的周缘延伸。在其它方面中，具有流体管界面的第一子部件可以经由榫槽连接部联接到具有流体管界面的第二子部件，从而允许流体在所得集成部件的子部件之间流动。
