Parameterized Offset Surfaces

​
offset surface distance
surface parameter ω
Given a surface
z=f(x,y)
, construct a surface consisting of the points a distance λ along the normals to the original surface. Even for smooth surfaces, these so-called offset surfaces frequently develop cusps. In this Demonstration, the shape of such offset surfaces can be investigated for a special initial surface.
