Create repeating patterns around a curved or arc surface in FreeCAD by scaling and tracing part of a reference image / photograph and seamlessly repeating that pattern and wrapping it around a curved surface. This simple tutorial will take you through the process step by step showing you a number of workflows utilising both the curves and lattice 2 workbenches.
This workflow is ideal for crating craft rollers for clay patterning, paint rollers and tyre treads.
