Given the positions and orientations of several pipe surfaces (cylinders) in 3D space, a scheme for constructing a piecewise algebraic surface to blend the pipe surfaces is presented. The algorithm starts with the suitable partition of the 3D space into tetrahedrons or prisms in which the algebraic surface patches are defined. Then a smooth piecewise algebraic surface is constructed which meets the pipe surfaces with certain order of geometric continuity. The proper choice of free parameters is briefly discussed.
