Design parameters effects on relative density of triply periodic minimal surfaces for additive manufacturing

Three-dimensional patterns have been widely considered for the generation of lightweight internal structures in design methodologies additive manufacturing. Accordingly, triply periodic minimal surfaces previously explored due to their improved mechanical performance compared traditional lattice structures. The present study analyses effect parameters on relative density Primitive and Gyroid patterns. Results show a linear correlation between pattern’s thickness, non-linear relationship length. Relative equations are proposed ultimately aid dimensions selection based manufacturing constraints applicability topological optimization procedures.
