Here is something specific to your first example and doesn’t quite give full coverage, and has limited applicability, but aside from that, it’s perfect!

Fusion360 will generate tool paths like that (single continuous curve)… for example, pocketing with ‘Morphed Spiral’ option on a part shaped liked yours yields this: (the model is from Rhino)
…not sure if this would be an option for you but if it is, it’s quick to do.
BTW see the inner aspect of things (if you are after code matters):

Yes! This is the thing I am looking for. Thanks for the link.
It is also possible to make a single path using this technique
I cried at the end.
Would it be possible to share the fermat spiral code?
Educational CNC milling:)
@laurent_delrieu i did with online tool it reduced your 3.93mb file to 970.79 kb
but if you’re curious to do within the grasshopper this is not the one you’re looking for.
I use Daniel Piker one which seem to use a free library
an old version of camtasia studio 3. I have not found built in .NET component which i could access in ironpython to build the gif myself.

https://ezgif.com/optimize/ezgif-1-5a284da62e48.gif @laurent_delrieu it is very simple you can use this. In optimization method just select reduce every 4th frame
Is possible to share the definition
No problem it is very similar to what I proposed in the other discussion.
First put the curves
Choose the number of spheres (1000 seems OK, 4000 points on my PC gives 5 min of calculations)
Toggle Kangaroo to TRUE, adapt the diameter if needed. If OK toggle to FALSE.
You will need Kangaroo, Clipper, ShortestWalk. Human is not mandatory just to draw the lines so it is cool for the animation.
