An investigation into the effect of gradients on the manufacturing fidelity of triply periodic minimal surface structures with graded density fabricated by selective laser melting

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of gradients on manufacturing fidelity was investigated using X-ray computed tomography (CT), and the results indicated that relative density and volume fraction of as-built GCSs are higher than those specified in the engineering design due to strut diameters being larger than specification and the presence of bonded powder particles.
