Create a 3D printable meshed surface by puncturing each of the facets that make up the surface. For example, surf(z) for some matrix 'z' is a surface made up of four-sided facets, so punctureSurface will create four-sided holes in each facet. In general, the shape of each facet of a surface will define the shape of the hole punched into said facet.
