Abstract
Mechanical parts and other objects are produced from a specific computer-assisted design by successive steps including producing pieces of the part or object in elementary layers or strata, building up the collection of layers, and assembling the layers. The layers are derived from previous decomposition of the part or object along specific planes, and one or several steps. At least a portion of one of the layers is turned over (by 180°) after one of its surfaces has been machined, and another surface is machined after the layer has been turned over.
