Hi, I want to modify these curves so I can use them as tool-paths. [image] 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: [image] …

Hi @Konrad , i recently had to implement this and used clipper and this paper as reference. _ c.

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) [35%20PM] …not sure if this would be an option for you but if it is, it’s quick to do.

[image] Konrad: clipper BTW see the inner aspect of things (if you are after code matters): clipper_ver6.4.2.zip (2.4 MB)

Yes! This is the thing I am looking for. Thanks for the link.

some fun stuff… [SpiralFermat5] _ c.

It is also possible to make a single path using this technique [image] Polyline on a surface Grasshopper Hi, I am trying to create one single curve that covers all my surface that has holes in the middle. How can I do that? I started to divide the curve in points and inte…

Would it be possible to share the fermat spiral code?:slight_smile:

Hi @Petras_Vestartas , sorry, it is proprietary. What would you use the path for ? _ c.
