CurvedShapes Workbench
Introduction
Curved Shapes is a FreeCAD external workbench that creates 3D shapes from 2D curves.
Installation
Recommended installation is through the FreeCAD Addon Manager via the
Tools → Addon Manager
Tools
-
[CurvedArray](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=CurvedShapes_CurvedArray): Creates an array and resizes the items in the bounds of one or more hull curves.
-
[CurvedSegment](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=CurvedShapes_CurvedSegment): Interpolates between two 2D curves. The interpolated curves can be resized in the bounds of some hullcurves.
-
[InterpolatedMiddle](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=CurvedShapes_InterpolatedMiddle): Interpolates a 2D shape into the middle between two 2D curves. The base shapes can be connected to a shape with a sharp corner.
-
[SurfaceCut](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=CurvedShapes_SurfaceCut): Cuts a surface to get the outline curve or a face. This tool is similar to
[Cross-Sections](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=Part_CrossSections) in the
[Part workbench](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=Part_Workbench), but it is fully parametric and has an option to reduce the complexity of the output curve. It tries to remove overlapping edges.
Examples
-
[HortenHIX](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=CurvedShapes_HortenHIX): A Python script that creates the shape of the [Horten Ho 229 (also called Horten H IX)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horten_Ho_229), a stealth fighter that has been build in Germany in 1944.
-
[FlyingWingS800](wiki-test2.php?gitpage=CurvedShapes_FlyingWingS800): A Python script that creates the shape of a flying wing radio-controlled model.
