'Smart' mesh thicken (ok to sacrifice even thickness)

Hi! I notice that when thickness is high, the mesh thickening fails (gives bad results, vertices run into faces). How can I thicken ‘smartly,’ sacrificing even thickness for correct result when needed? (this would be perfect for nurbs too if possible!)
The (cross-section of) solution I need is sketched out here: when curvature of the thickened surface too high, just reduce it, sacrificing accuracy for correctness

Thanks very much!

Isn’t that what ISO functions for? Shrinkwrap, Dendro and many others.

Thanks very much for your reply Quan! I just saw this! I created a better-explained question with example Thicken mesh (sacrifice even thickness for correctness)
