In this SolidWorks 2024 tutorial, we’ll show you how to model a Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) lattice—an advanced mechanical metamaterial used in energy absorption and damping applications. This beginner-friendly CAD guide is ideal for engineers and makers interested in additive manufacturing and simulation workflows. The final design was 3D printed in PLA using an Anycubic printer. STL files are available upon request via LinkedIn.
