MD-TPMS: Multi-dimensional gradient minimal surface generator

Sophisticated gradient design can greatly improve the versatility and performance of triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS). However, the intricate design process of TPMS structures with gradient design has restricted their widespread adoption across various research fields. Currently, existing software is limited to providing complex gradient designs in TPMS structures. In this study, a new MATLAB software, MD-TPMS, is developed to generate TPMS structure with gradient design, including shell/solid TPMS networks with 1D to 3D gradient designs. This software significantly helps to efficiently generate multi-dimensional gradient TPMS models and export STL files for additive manufacturing and numerical study.
