A conoid is a three-dimensional geometric shape that resembles a cone but has a more complex structure. It is typically defined as a surface generated by moving a straight line, which is called a generator, along a predetermined path while maintaining a constant distance from a fixed point or axis. More formally, a conoid can be described mathematically in several ways, but one of the common forms is defined using a parameterization in Cartesian coordinates.
