In one embodiment, the interconnect may be a mechanical structure that may physically connect one structure to another structure. In other embodiments, an interconnect may be embodied as a fastener that enables permanent or temporary joining of one structure to another structure. In still other embodiments, an interconnect may be embodied as a joint or hinge configured to enable one or both structured joined by the interconnect to move relative to each other while remaining joined. In one embodiment, the interconnect may be configured to convey fluid and/or an electric signal between the at least two other structures. For example, the interconnect may comprise a channel or tube configured to convey air between a first opening and a second opening in the channel or tube. Examples of an interconnect include, but are not limited to, a pipe, a tunnel, a chamber a channel, or the like. Other examples of an interconnect include, but are not limited to, solid material that can be additively manufactured between two structures, a magnet, a snap, a hook and loop system, a spring, a tether, or the like.
