Fourier-Latent Diffusion for Constrained Generation of Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces
Abstract
We present a generative framework for the constrained design of -symmetric triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) with low residual mean curvature. Existing TPMS design pipelines either explore a limited set of canonical analytical families or rely on computationally expensive numerical procedures, making it difficult to efficiently generate diverse candidates under geometric and/or mechanical requirements. Our approach learns a distribution of solver-generated TPMS in a compact Fourier space where periodicity and symmetry are guaranteed by construction. This representation eliminates the need for a learned geometric decoder and enables the training of an effective diffusion model that generates low-mean-curvature candidates conditioned on sparse geometric constraints, selected homogenized elastic properties, or their combination. A subsequent coefficient-space refinement further reduces the residual mean curvature. Experiments show that our approach outperforms trigonometric, SDF-based, and standard Fourier-space baselines and enables controllable, high-quality generation under geometric and low-dimensional mechanical constraints. Overall, the proposed framework provides a compact and efficient design space for generating near-minimal periodic structures under user-specified requirements.
