Description
Hossain and co-authors review a family of sponge-like lattice materials that 3D printing has made practical in this 2025 paper. These surfaces, called triply periodic minimal surfaces, curve evenly and repeat in all directions, echoing structures found in bone and butterfly wings. Their shape spreads loads well and offers huge surface area.
The review covers the main surface types, printing methods, and how design choices and finishing steps change strength and heat behavior. Newer graded and hybrid versions vary the lattice through a part for tailored performance. Remaining hurdles include printing with several materials at once and letting data guide shape choices. The authors map where the field should push next.
