Frame structure	It is made up of a rigid arrangement of parts fastened together. Strength comes from the way the components are joined Individually, no one component of a frame structure is as strong as the components combined. Compared to a solid structure, frame structures are lighter because they use less material Can be 2D or 3D
Shell structure	Has a solid outer surface that may be rounded or flat The inside of the structure is hollow Shell structures with a rounded outer surface are usually stronger than those with a flat outer surface. This is because curved areas distribute the load around the whole surface. The hollow interior of shell structures means that they are lighter than solid and most frame structures
