In order to build 2-manifold free-form surfaces of potentially high complexity but with much inherent regularity, we have developed a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) tool called NOME (Non-Orientable Manifold Editor). This tool makes it easier and more precise to build 2-manifold sculptures procedurally through a text editor and interactively through a GUI (Graphical User Interface). We have tested the software by reproducing sculptures by Eva Hild and by Charles O. Perry, which can then be 3D printed.
