Creamy surface - parametric

[martinsiegrist]

This looks like it is CNC machined with a 3 axis machine and ball end bit.

You can approximate the look by extruding contours.

Or simulate like this:

Solid Difference

The file name is ball bit, hence I guess you want to simulate a toolpath. That is tricky when you feed the boolean difference with all the objects you want to subtract at once. My solution is a loop with Anemone. You can tweak the parameters to simulate step over. [image] ball bit 0.90_mrtn.gh (19.9 KB)
