Surface of Revolution

It seems that the Internet offers a whole array of applications and programs that you could use in order to perform all sort of math calculations. One of them is Surface of Revolution.It's a neat software solution that lets you create a 3D model by using multiple tools. You can simulate the movement of a 2D line around a fixed axis.

Simple and straightforward application

The program doesn't require any installation which means that it won't occupy space on your computer and you can launch it from portable drives as well.It doesn't come with any customization options, but you wouldn't really need them since it sports a really intuitive and clean user interface. It has multiple tips and instructions to get you started and it comes with various tools that you can use.

Create 3D models easily

It allows you to draw and manipulate a line or connected series of line segments in two-dimensional space to simultaneously generate a surface of revolution in three-dimensional space.It displays a surface formed by rotating a curve around a line. You can draw the slider bar and the angle of rotation for the surface will be updated. You can also manipulate the preview section and move the 3D model around its axis, to view it from different sides.

Additional tools and features

It allows you to modify the display of the 3D surface, you can show edges to toggle the wireframe of the surface and it also allows you to toggle the quadrilateral faces that comprise the surface. You can adjust the coordinates of axes and it allows you to rotate models around the horizontal or vertical axis.You can copy information to the clipboard or print the model if you want. All in all, Surface of Revolution is a very useful application for creating 3D models using a 2D line and rotating objects around their axis.
