Sliceform ‒ Types

Sliceforms are geometric models constructed from interlocking sets of planar pieces. By creating two sets of slotted pieces ("slot-from-the-top" and "slot-from-the-bottom" sets) that intersect at right angles, one can link the two sets together to form attractive models of surfaces and solids.

Sliceforms are described briefly in Cundy and Rollett's brilliant compendium "Mathematical Models". The best recent references on the subject are by the British mathematician/artist John Sharp, whose books "Sliceforms" and "Surfaces" include numerous beautiful examples done in colored paper.
