Moebious ribbon folding

Hi, i wan to make ribbon lke the attached curves, i try with the moebious lunchbox

plugin , but don´t find the way to do that.

I want to control the plant geometry wit a curve (right triangle, isoceles, square,etc), and the folding curves.

There is any plugin for thing lat that, some advice are welcome.

Greetings

I did a very similar thing recently for some project ... but unfortunately is carried over via code.

Note: If thicken > 0 it creates a mesh (Brep ops of that type are VERY slow).

Note: If a thickened mesh is the target use some "generous" value for D (otherwise the Methods used may fail - in that case watch the failure report [info box]).

best

Thanks, for the reply
These are acording to the image, but my objetive
is give some curvature on every corner, now i found a image that
show you what i am looking for:

This picture show my work in progress, lack to make the twist in every corner.

I want to use one closed curve fo the path.

AFAIK there's no native component that does a fillet between 2 curves. Meaning that you should fillet the "sharp" corners of a given pair of "zig-zag" curves and then decompose them and loft 1:1 the pieces. A bit tricky - IMHO easier via code:

Some samples on that matter (sheet or thickened, any curve, breps or mesh,fillet or not):
