Hi all,
i am playing around with the BRepProj_Projection which is include in OpenCascade to project wires / faces to an uneven surface/surfaces to achieve something link in the pics.
But after playing around i bit, i found some problems which i think are not too easy to handle.
The resulting wire is correct and good. Even on multiple faces. I tested it with a zig zag surface and the wire looks quite good.
But when it comes to do something with the wire it gets complicated. For example making a face out of it, to extrude it and make a boolean cut with the surface.
So my question is, is there anyone out there who has already played with this and has some experience how this can be handled? Or does anyone has already created a macro or an implementation for this?
I think this would be a nice new feature for FreeCad if it could project logos, texts or etc on an uneven surface. Just thinking for milling or 3d printing.....
What do you guys think about this?? Hope for some comments.....
