Metaball prefabrication

Dear all,

I have this tower of my „ PokerChips Tower“

It is a simple Metaball Component and Geodesian Crvs on surface.

Now I want to send it to lasercutter (beim Kropf in Graz) and was wandering can you maybe provide me (or someone from your crew) some help. I could do it manually, projecting every closed Crv on to XY Plane , than adding a number to it and put it again manually on to Cutting Shield.

Maybe is there shorter way, with GH and Rhinonest.is there some numbering option?

I am sending some screenshots.

Really thank full of any kind of Help!

Check my defition, its probably can help you. I guess it worth to give a numbers to surfaces firstly, then put geometry on them and after find a way to match them together!" My defition is plainer because every surface have only one geometry. Convert numbers to curves, then "Bake" , then "artcam nesting". I wonder if you could upload out ur defition? I am jst a novice user and its very interesting for me to inquire into complete process.
