Jan,

This seems to be a frequent question to MathGroup.

In Help, check the third form of ParametricPlot3D and EdgeForm. Instead of a
color specification, s, put EdgeForm[]. This eliminates the rendering of the
polygon edges that make up the surface. Mesh is not an option for Graphics3D
(ParametricPlot3D) but is for SurfaceGraphics (Plot3D).

ParametricPlot3D[{fx[x,y], fy[x,y], fx[x,y], EdgeForm[]}, {x, xmin,xmax},{y,
ymin, ymax}]
