Minimal surfaces are defined as surfaces that have the minimum possible surface area stretched across a particular contour. TPMS Unit Cells are periodic in all 3 dimensions. Parameter 1: Thickness - Thickness of the TPMS walls. Parameter 2: Mid-surface Offset - Offset of the TPMS as a positive or negative approximate distance. This will shift the mid-surface wall inward or outward.

Inputs

NameTypeDescription
Unit cellTPMS EnumThe selected unit cell to populate the lattice.
OrientationPermutation EnumUnit cell orientaion (uvw).
Exact thicknessBoolOption to refine wall thickness to match the desired value. when selected, generation of lattices that use this cell will be slower. other downstream operations on this lattice, such as meshing and slicing, will also be slower.
