Optimization of functionally graded solid-network TPMS meta-biomaterials.

The current study enhances the performance of solid-network triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) cellular materials through using cell size grading along with the Taguchi method. Cell size grading is a novel technique used to control the size of pores and the surface area without changing the relative density. In this context, experimental compression testing was conducted on six distinct geometries of cell size graded TPMS structures (Diamond, Fischer-Koch S, Gyroid, IWP, Primitive, and Schoen-F-RD) manufactured with dental resin using a masked stereolithography (MSLA) printer.
