As used herein, a “Triply Periodic Minimal Surface" (TPMS) refers to a minimal surface in ℝ3 that is invariant under a rank-3 lattice of translations within differential geometry. (Search 'Triply periodic minimal surface' on Wikipedia.com July 19, 2020. Modified. Accessed Aug. 26, 2021.) TPMS is also a type of surface that designers can use in Computer Aided Design (CAD) software to generate lattice structures. TPMS structures can be organized into certain families such as the gyroid family and the lidnoid family.
