That's a nice method, NormandC, I hadn't seen one using FreeCAD before.

Inkscape can convert those spline curves to line segments.

Except you loose much quality when converting from spline curves to line segments. Your outline will be jagged. Granted it might not matter for 3D printing but I'm kind of a purist. Also if you ever want to have it laser cut in another material (steel, aluminum...) it won't look good.

you add additional points so that the quality is more than needed (at least for 3d printing which is what this forum is about).
