One variation of a method includes: accessing a virtual mesh representing a target body part; downscaling the virtual mesh according to a manufacturing offset between primary and secondary links during additive manufacturing of a compression garment 100 corresponding to the virtual mesh; downscaling the virtual mesh according to a target compression for the compression garment; and constructing a network of tessellated cells intersecting a surface of the virtual mesh. This variation of the method also includes generating a model of the compression garment including: a constellation of virtual primary links, each virtual primary link defining a toroidal geometry and located within a tessellated cell; and a constellation of virtual secondary links, each virtual secondary link linking a pair of adjacent virtual primary links in the first constellation of virtual primary links and offset from surfaces of the pair of adjacent virtual primary links by the manufacturing offset.
