3D cut
Cutting within three-dimensions might be understood itself as an analogy to the term stereotomy. A large part of all stereotomy treatises deals specifically with the geometric operations needed to obtain the section of a volume cut by a surface.
Cutting a material is an operation that needs a target (material) and an agent (tool). Geometrically speaking, the material is a three dimensional volume, and the agent describes a surface within three dimensions that intersects the volume. This surface is generated by the sequence of all positions described by the agent (generatrix) along its movement (directrix). If the agent may be simplified as a line (mill), the generated cutting surface will thus be a ruled surface; if the agent exists within a plane (circular saw), the directrix must exist in the same plane, the surface will be planar. The usual application of this kind of process in stereotomy is the modelling of the voussoirs’ contact surfaces.
