  bibo_abstract:
  - We introduce a compact, intuitive procedural graph representation for cellular
    metamaterials, which are small-scale, tileable structures that can be architected
    to exhibit many useful material properties. Because the structures’ “architectures”
    vary widely—with elements such as beams, thin shells, and solid bulks—it is difficult
    to explore them using existing representations. Generic approaches like voxel
    grids are versatile, but it is cumbersome to represent and edit individual structures;
    architecture-specific approaches address these issues, but are incompatible with
    one another. By contrast, our procedural graph succinctly represents the construction
    process for any structure using a simple skeleton annotated with spatially varying
    thickness. To express the highly constrained triply periodic minimal surfaces
    (TPMS) in this manner, we present the first fully automated version of the conjugate
    surface construction method, which allows novices to create complex TPMS from
    intuitive input. We demonstrate our representation’s expressiveness, accuracy,
    and compactness by constructing a wide range of established structures and hundreds
    of novel structures with diverse architectures and material properties. We also
    conduct a user study to verify our representation’s ease-of-use and ability to
    expand engineers’ capacity for exploration.@eng
