1. A deformable body, comprising a plurality of layers of a polymeric construction material oriented perpendicular to a construction direction,
wherein the plurality of layers of the polymeric construction material forms a plurality of curve pairs in periodic contact with one another, wherein the plurality of curve pairs run parallel to one another,
and wherein each curve pair is formed by multiple layers of the polymeric construction material, wherein the curve pairs respectively comprise two periodic curves running in opposition to one another, wherein the curve pairs comprise sections of maximal separation between the two periodic curves and sections of minimal separation between the two periodic curves,
and wherein, in a portion of the layers:
a) at least one section of maximal separation of a curve is connected to a section of maximal separation of an adjacent curve;
b) at least one section of maximal separation of the curve is not connected to the section of maximal separation of the adjacent curve;
c) at least one section of minimal separation of the curve is connected to a section of minimal separation of the adjacent curve, and
d) at least one section of minimal separation of the curve is not connected to the section of minimal separation of the adjacent curve.
