Parametric Optimization of Tensile Performance in mSLA-Fabricated Gyroid TPMS Structures Using Response Surface Methodology
摘要
Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattice structures have attracted significant attention due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and efficient load distribution characteristics, with gyroid architectures offering a continuous topology that minimizes stress concentrations. In this study, the tensile behavior of gyroid TPMS structures fabricated via masked stereolithography (mSLA) using an ABS-like photopolymer resin was systematically investigated. Volume fraction (20-60%) and unit cell size (4-8 mm) were selected as the primary design parameters. The results indicate that volume fraction is the dominant factor, contributing over 88% to the variation in maximum load, while cell size exhibits a secondary effect. Increasing volume fraction enhances load-bearing capacity but leads to a more brittle response, whereas lower volume fractions promote progressive deformation. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to develop predictive models with high accuracy (R2 > 97%). Multi-objective optimization identified the optimal design at approximately 60% volume fraction and 8 mm cell size, yielding a desirability of 0.977. These findings provide insight into structure–property relationships and demonstrate the effectiveness of statistical modeling for optimizing lightweight TPMS-based metamaterials.
