Top-6-Class MetaStudio (Top6Meta): A Python-based framework for the modeling of architected materials and structures

This work presents Top-6-Class MetaStudio (Top6Meta), a Python-based framework for the unified modeling of architected materials and structures. The software package integrates three primary architectural families–strut-based lattices, TPMS, and spinodal architectures–together with three derivative classes formed through secondary operations, namely hybrid multimorphology designs, functionally graded architectures, and interpenetrating phase composites (IPCs). All classes are implemented within a common modeling paradigm, enabling seamless transitions between shapes and topologies. Top6Meta supports the generation of standalone metamaterials, as well as architected beams, plates, and sandwich structures, bridging mesoscale topology designs with macroscale structures, while supporting both graphical and programmatic workflows.
