Sliceforms

What a nice idea for calculus in 3 dimensions! ''paper sliceform [ARE] models made from intersecting sets of parallel planes which slot together to generate interesting three-dimensional surfaces'' [book]

Possibly one could take a function of 2 variables, plot a few profiles, then create a sliceform out of it. [as done here]

Another nice example can be seen here.
