The Help section of ContourPlot3D states: ContourPlot3D works by dividing the three-dimensional space into cubes and deciding if the surface intersects each cube. If the surface does intersect a cube, ContourPlot3D will subdivide this cube further,and so on. On the other hand, ListContourPlot is a built-in function, and so you won't be able to examine a package to find its implementation. Carl Woll
