Abstract
An arrangement for the construction of surfaces and bodies by stacking planar elements against each other. The planar elements have cross-sections corresponding to respective cross-sections of the surface to be constructed. The planar elements are assembled and attached to each other in sections, with neighboring sections being detached from each other so that the planar elements may be produced by cutting through plate-shaped material, and the cut-out elements are held to the parent plates by tabs. The tabs are arranged in a staggered manner among the sections of planar elements to facilitate easy removal of the planar elements from the remaining plate-shaped material to be discarded.
