Merge multiple surface into one continuous surface for 3d printing

Rhino Rhino for Windows

Hi,

Does anyone happen to know how to merge multiple surfaces into continuous one that for 3d printing? Beacuse I am afraid when I offset the surface with thickness and it forms kink that could cause some problems for 3d printing. Please have a look at the rhino file. Thanks!

Hi Pascale, yes that’s what I mean, but I haven’t figured out the scale I want to print. I am just wondering if i scale it down to probably 1:20 and i make it about 2mm thickness solid, with the seam in between different parts, am i be able to 3d print it into a continuous surface? Would it have kinks in between different parts?

Hello - basically, you need to Join all the surfaces and OffsetSrf with Solid=Yes on the result.
