Top6Meta Family

The Top6Meta family is a Python-based HPC software suite for the design and CAD generation of architected materials and metastructures. It brings strut lattices, TPMS topologies, and spinodal architectures into one modeling framework, together with hybrid, functionally graded, and IPC designs. The family comes in three editions. Top6Meta covers the core design and CAD export workflow, Top6MetaA adds advanced analysis tools, inner wall thickness processing, and HPC parallel processing, and Top6MetaAM+ extends this with AM printability analysis for additive manufacturing and FEA voxel export for numerical analysis.

Technology Overview 

The Top6Meta family is a Python-based high-performance computing framework for the unified modeling of architected materials and structures. It integrates three primary architectural families, namely strut-based lattices, triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS), and stochastic spinodal architectures. It also supports three derivative classes formed through secondary operations on these families, namely hybrid multi-morphology designs, functionally graded architectures, and interpenetrating phase composites (IPCs). Gradation patterns go well beyond linear profiles, and several reinforcement architectures can be selected for IPC designs. All classes share a common modeling paradigm, which allows smooth transitions between shapes and topologies and consistent control of geometric and volumetric parameters. Beyond standalone metamaterials, the framework generates architected beams, plates, and sandwich structures, linking mesoscale topology design with macroscale structural applications. 

Top6MetaA extends the core edition with a dedicated inner wall thickness module that analyzes the internal material distribution of architected parts. This is key for judging the 3D-printing feasibility of a component and its structural robustness. It also adds IPC layer preview, effective cross-sectional properties, colored exports, and multiprocessing operations that speed up demanding geometry-generation tasks, which is essential for large and intricate designs. 

Top6MetaAM+ covers the steps between design and production. Its AM printability analysis checks parts before they reach the printer, and its voxel export prepares models for finite element analysis (FEA) solvers. By bringing these classes and tools into one extensible framework, the Top6Meta family offers a versatile and efficient platform for the computer-aided design (CAD), additive manufacturing and simulation of next-generation architected materials and metastructures.
