Original Abstract Submitted
a method and an article of manufacture are disclosed for creating 3-d (3-dimensional) gyroid-based structures such as panels, parts, and components using gyroid building blocks made by subtractive manufacturing (shaping material by removing part of the material, like making a sculpture by shaving wood from a log) that may minimize or maximize heat transfer, compared with a non-gyroid similar structure and depending on application, while maintaining high structural strength and integrity with respect to the intended applications. more specifically, the method includes subtractively manufacturing a variety of basic gyroid building blocks and then attaching the building blocks together to construct larger and more complex 3-d structures while preserving smooth surfaces and same curvature, as further described below. this may not be effectively manufactured by additive manufacturing techniques.
