Abstract
Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (TPMS) are parametrically generated lattices with topology-driven properties. They are emerging as a significant innovation, finding wide-ranging applications. This paper introduces LattGen, a software solution that addresses the complexity of designing these surfaces. This tool allows users to easily customize their desired surfaces’ size, volume fraction, grading, and hybridization. LattGen also allows for the import of arbitrary domains and the export to standard computer-aided design platforms for additive manufacturing. This design platform automates the creation of porous structures, making them a valuable tool in various scientific, engineering, and creative fields.
