We call our structures ADMS, short for «Adaptive Density Minimal Surfaces». Just like other, well-known minimal surfaces like the Gyroid, ADMS are doubly curved at each point such that the mean curvature is zero at every point.
ADMS are at the same time controlled, regular, aperiodic and random, which makes for structures that are generally isotropic.
Unlike other structures, both spheres and ADMS show no spikes in the distribution of the orientation of their surface, which means they perform equally well in all directions. Our geometry is closely related to that of the sphere — (this is why our company is called spherene!)
Unlike other minimal surfaces, our ADMS are freely configurable thanks to their inherent properties:
Zero mean curvature means that every point in the print is supported by a doubly curved surrounding. You can print our ADMS structure support free with any printer on any print method!
Our structures consist always of two interwoven,
yet separate spaces:
