## Description

- description: Cellular solids are structures which have applications in mechanical
    engineering to make lightweight structures and heat exchangers, in biomedical
    engineering to make tissue scaffolds, and in chemical engineering to make catalysts.
    A subset of these, triply periodic minimal surface – like cellular solids, are
    seeing growing adoption with recent advances in additive manufacturing. Here we
    present a program, Cesogen, which interprets a novel domain-specific language
    (DSL) for specifying signed distance functions (SDFs) to generate cellular solid
    meshes, and which is designed to be paired with blackbox optimizers in order to
    spur more efficient research into cellular solids. It converts input meshes to
    SDFs before transforming and combining them with operations such as translation,
    scaling and intersection, which allows Cesogen to robustly generate hierarchical
    cellular solids. Finally, Cesogen contours the combined SDF via marching cubes
    to produce a resulting mesh which can be fed to a physics simulator.
