-	'''Lathing''' ~~an object~~ is ~~an operation to create an ''n''+1-dimensional shape from an ''n''-dimensional shape. When a shape is lathed,~~ the ~~resulting shape is~~ the [[hypervolume]] traced out by rotating ~~the~~ shape ~~about its center~~ by ~~180~~ degrees.	+	'''Lathing''' is the process of finding the [[hypervolume]] traced out when [[Rotation\|rotating]] a [[shape]] around the origin by 360 degrees in a certain direction.
