German term

zum Schnitt bringen

German to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering CAD design
From specifications for an instruction manual for turbine blade design software. I think from the context that it has something to do with intersecting, but any suggestions for the exact English term would be appreciated.

"Ausserdem können Schaufeloberflächen mit Stromflächen zum Schnitt gebracht werden, wobei als Ergebnis Profilkoordinaten generiert werden."

And in the context of turbomachinery:
"Usually it is not practical to obtain blade surface coordinates precisely on the end-wall contours due to the presence of a fillet radius or a clearance gap. That is not a major problem since program RIGPAC needs only the line-element definition so long as the actual end-wall contour is known. Hence, blades defined by the surface coordinates should also be supplemented by (z, r) coordinates for the actual contours of the end-walls. Those coordinates simply define the contours and need not correspond to points where the blade surface coordinates are supplied. Program RIGPAC can impose those definitions of the end-wall contours and extend the blade surface line elements to intersect them."

agree Teresa Reinhardt : but I'd say "to make them intersect"
