For the generating of a surface on machine tools, the generatrix G or the director curve D are flat analytical curves (involute, ellipse, Archimedean spiral, polygonal curves, closed contour, resulting from combinations of simple flat curves, etc.) or three-dimensional curves (cylindrical helix, cone-shaped helix, combinations of these with certain flat curves, etc.).
