                  Here, the “S” in Figure 13 indicates the total length of beam
               i.e. 200mm, and P1 is the steel pusher at the centre and supports
               are also made of steel (Saqib, Jamil & Zai, 2024).

                  Step-wise mesh resolution within nTopology is illustrated in
               Figure  14.  The model exhibits a gyroid-inspired geometry,
               represented as an  implicit body (left), adaptive meshing with
               coarse  (middle) and fine  (right)  surface  resolution.  Implicit
               modelling  within  nTopology delivers high-quality, watertight
               meshes optimised for manufacturing and simulation, preserving
