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.
Claims8
A method for constructing a predetermined surface comprising the steps of:
- defining the surface to be constructed;
- measuring a plurality of cross-sections of said defined surface;
- generating a substantially planar element for each cross-section measured, each said element having a cross-section corresponding to the respective measured cross-section of said defined surface;
- and stacking the generated elements adjacent one another in predetermined sequence to form said surface, the sequence of the stacked generated elements corresponding to the sequence of said plurality of cross-sections of said defined surface.
