Systems and methods for construction of space-truss structures are described herein. In some embodiments, software is provided that includes a design module for providing a three-dimensional surface model for the space-truss structure and a fabrication module for providing construction specifications for the space-truss structure. The fabrication module can receive the three-dimensional surface model generated by the design module as input. The space-truss structure is constructed of components including nodes, rods, and panels. These components are generated using the construction specifications provided by the fabrication module. The nodes can include multiple node portions constructed of flat, metal plates having end portions that are bent at 90-degree angles with respect to a base portion for assembly.
