Based on the gyroid three period minimum surface (TPMS), a sine function square and cosine function square density gradient skin lattice structure was proposed to address the problem of a relatively single gradient variation law in gradient lattice structures in current research. Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) sample was prepared using selective laser melting (SLM) technology. Finite element analysis and compression experiments were conducted on the sample to study its mechanical properties, and the error between the two results was less than 6.3%. Compared with the traditional linear density gradient skin lattice structures, the mechanical properties, deformation behavior, and energy absorption characteristics of the three structures were compared and analyzed. It was found that among the three structures, the cosine function square skin lattice structure had the best load-bearing performance, while the sine function square skin lattice structure had the strongest energy absorption capacity. By optimizing the internal relative density of the skin lattice structure, its mechanical properties and energy absorption capacity can be improved.
