FRAME DOMES
Framed Geodesic Domes are partial-spherical structures made from a network of triangles that distribute stress evenly across the structure.
The triangles in a geodesic dome are typically made from structural struts or beams connected at nodes. The materials used for these struts can vary depending on the dome’s purpose and size.

PANEL DOMES
Panel Geodesic Domes are a variation of geodesic domes where Solid Panels (instead of open frameworks) are used to form the triangular or polygonal faces of the dome. These panels act as both the structural skin and the enclosure of the dome, combining strength and insulation in a single system.
