This looks like metaballs right? you could find the intersections of these curves and try meatballs component.

please upload your curves file.

I attached the gh file.

Yes it is metaballs, could you show me how to find the intersections and make the mesh/surface?

Thanks,

Kevin

It's easier in fact if you just have the center points.
