In this paper, we present a construction approach to blend the corner of three coordinate planes with G2 continuous piecewise algebraic surfaces. For each pair of two coordinate planes, an algebraic surface patch (which is defined in a tetrahedron or a prism) is used to blend the two coordinate planes, and then a center patch is constructed to blend the three algebraic surface patches. The defining region and the shape of the blending surface can be easily adjusted with a few free parameters. Examples are provided to illustrate the blending method. The result can be combined with potential method to blend three arbitrary algebraic surfaces intersecting transversally at a common point.
