Abstract

An arrangement for generating and constructing three-dimensional surfaces in which the surface or body to be constructed is subdivided into planar elements. The contours or outlines of the planar elements correspond to respective cross-sections of the surface or body to be constructed. The planar elements are stacked against each other for constructing the surface or body.
