3D model description

Tensegrity, short for "tensional integrity," is a structural principle that involves using a network of cables or rods under tension to support a structure's weight. Tensegrity structures are composed of isolated components that are in compression, such as bars or struts, and continuous tension members, such as cables or wires, which are connected to the compression components to create a stable, self-supporting structure.

In a tensegrity structure, the compression components are only in contact with the tension members, and the tension members do not touch each other. This creates a dynamic, stable system where the tension members are in a state of continuous tension and the compression components are in a state of continuous compression. The result is a lightweight, efficient structure that can distribute stress and withstand external loads.

To connect each piece, use tree rope. To hold the ropes, you can use a glue gun or another type of glue.
