LISBON TPMS TOOL: An open-source tool for the design of TPMS structures for engineering applications

Structures based on Triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) are employed in catalysis, energy storage, and tissue engineering for biomedical applications, among others. They excel in mechanical performance, surface area, and transport properties compared to traditional lattice structures. This work introduces a versatile tool designed to facilitate the creation and manipulation of TPMS-based structures. It provides total control over lattice properties, for 3D printing and Finite Element simulation purposes. By operating within a Python environment, ensuring accessibility and compatibility with both online and offline workflows, LisbonTPMS-tool aims to become a valuable resource to employ TPMS-based structures in practical applications. • Versatile tool to design TPMS-based structures. • Open-source and compatible with both online and offline workflows. • Particularly focused on 3D printing and computational modeling.
