wire frame

Bent rod structure

A wire frame is a skeletal representation showing only the edges and vertices of a three-dimensional object, without solid surfaces.

In computer graphics and design, wire frame models reveal underlying structure: The architect showed us a wire frame of the building before adding textures.

Wire frame views help visualize complex shapes and catch errors before final rendering.

Also spelled wireframe.
