The panels are definitely not all the same for our domes, more like +12 different panels for big domes. The dome is not spherical if the panels are all the same. Maybe for a very large dome it could be possible to build it from one single panel mold, but we haven't experimented with such a design.

Thank you SpaceNut ! I just found this forum because of the new backlink to my site, and i must say it's very fascinating ! I'm a space nut myself smile I collect astronomy documentaries among other things.
Our company has developed a new technology to build geodesic domes, that makes them structurally stronger then any other dome built so far. Hopefully we will be successful in bring our domes to the commercial market and also improve the technology in order to turn science fiction into science fact smile

Although the domes with triangles are structurally much stronger, these hex domes look cooler smile

Something like this would work

Who knows, maybe we'll get more orders on Mars then we get on Earth smile

Our hex domes would definitely look cool on Mars

I'd post a link but apparently i'm not allowed
