Dear #OpenSCAD users: is there any way to define a real #Bezier curve with OpenSCAD ?
My current understanding is that there are functions for some geometric figures (straight lines, circles…) but not for Bezier. #BOSL2 provides Bezier helpers but apparently, they only approximate a curve with 16 straight segments, right ?
Does this mean I should stick to #FreeCAD if I want smooth and parametric Bezier curves ?
