Summary

Here is a soap-film frame for a Schwarz P minimal surface that I designed for the InforMath project funded by the National Science Foundation (DRL-1323587). The InforMath project (http://informalmathematics.org/) is a partnership between San Diego State University and several museums at the Balboa Park, including the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center (http://www.rhfleet.org/). A Schwarz P surface is a triply periodic minimal surface. The circles and lines in the frame all lie on the minimal surface. The Schwarz P minimal surface is created by soap film when the frame is dipped into soapy water.

There are several sizes for the model 6x6x6cm, 10x10x10cm and 15x15x15cm, and two choices of diameter (2.5mm and 3mm). The photos show the 10cm size 2.5mm diameter model, then the 6cm 2.5mm model.
