Hello
Hi,
I want to modify these curves so I can use them as tool-paths.

The problem is though that due to the specifics of the fabrication process these can not be multiple curves – instead it has to be one continuous, smooth curve.
The idea is to “sprialize” the curves like this:

For simple curves, with only one inner curve each it works like this:

For curves with multiple inner curves I can’t quite figure it out. Has someone an idea to guide me in the…
And what i did for a client
Some weeks ago I began my journey in the 3d printing world.
The main job was to generate 3d printer paths from closed curves which represent the intersection between a slice (plane or not) and a solid.
The paths must be a single curve, which means the extruder never stop to extrude during the print.
The results are very similar from what is presented here
and on this paper “Connected Fermat Spirals for Layered Fabrication”
The main tool is Offset from Clipper but there are many optimizatio…
