The invention provides a method for designing a three-period minimum curved surface variable-density lattice structure for additive manufacturing. Firstly, based on the elastic structure static balance theory and unit "life and death" technology, the finite element model of the elastic structure is established, and the extraction method of the structural unit bearing capacity is designed; then, the vector data of the structural unit bearing capacity and the unit node data of the structural finite element model are calculated, And give the bearing capacity cloud diagram of the structural unit; then, process the bearing capacity data of the structural unit, including surface interpolation, spline interpolation and normalization, combine the processed bearing capacity data of the structural unit with the TPMS function; then, combine the TPMS The porosity of the porous structure is used as the evaluation index of the variable density lattice structure, and the Marching cubes algorithm is used to realize the modeling of the TPMS variable density surface; finally, the Boolean operation is performed on the TPMS variable density surface model and the original structure model to realize the surface closure. The invention solves the problems of numerical instability and low efficiency of the topological structure existing in the design of the traditional lattice structure.
