Lightweight Starshade concept
grabcad
This design uses a combination of ultralight rigid carbon composite tubes and cables that allows for a compact folded configuration, and capable of unfolding to a 100 meter diameter structure while still maintaining low weight and structural rigidity by having 16 of all the 24 rigid segments not directly connected to the core of the spacecraft by rigid structures.The 3d model is looking odd because I had trouble converting from .blend to .step.
