Abstract: We prove that a Kleinian group $ G$ acting on $ \mathbb{H}^{3}$ admits a non-constant $ G$-automorphic function, even if it has torsion elements, provided that the orders of the elliptic elements are uniformly bounded. This is accomplished by developing a method for meshing distinct fat triangulations which is fatness preserving. We further show how to adapt the proof to higher dimensions.
