Hi Giuliana,

here're some ideas where to start:

- search the forum for "plank lines"

- visit Mårten Nettelbladt's great blog: http://thegeometryofbending.blogspot.com

- http://biosarch.wordpress.com/2009/07/22/plank-lines/

Ciao,

J

Peter Donders is on Grasshopper: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/profile/PeterDonders

Two things to look for: ToyCar by David Rutten and SurfaceTurtle by Lorentz Lachauer.

These will both produce geodesic curves (= plank lines) on a volume that you choose. Then it's a matter of creating surfaces along those curves (oriented the correct way, in order to become single curved/developable).
