Envelopes of Solids of Revolution

This program computes the envelope swept by a solid of revolution undergoing a rigid motion. It was used in conjuction with POV-Ray to generate some of the figures in the paper:

Ponce-Vanegas, F., Bizzarri, M., & Bartoň, M. (202x). On C0 and C1 continuity of envelopes of rotational solids and its application to 5-axis CNC machining. Computer Aided Geometric Design, 2023. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cagd.2023.102245

The directory Example contains the code used to generate a fragment of Figure 9 in this paper.

Even though the code can be improved in many ways, we do not have in mind to maintain or further develope it; comments are welcome though.
