Re: possible to do with path?
I think that would require a 3d surfacing operation which we don't have yet.

You might try PyCAM for this geometry until FreeCAD has the capability.
Download PyCAM 0.5.1 (not the 0.16) as well as pypy and put both in the same working directory, you'll want to copy out the pypy4 and the library file inside the supplied pypy 'bin' directory to the working level, then in two terminals run these:
$ ./pypy4 pycam --start-server-only --server-auth-key=test --number-of-processes=2
$ pycam --enable-server --remote-server=localhost --server-auth-key=test --number-of-processes=0
I've had trouble with spherical part features but other geometries have been working ok.
