Hi stefano, well the example in your link above is quite tremendously complex, this piece for example is made up of 1412 faces:
I don't think it's very likely that something of that level of extreme detail is going to be able to be automated robustly.
i guess conceptually you would want to be able to generate an offset of it. But offsetting such a complex object is very difficult. For adjacent surfaces, the offsets of those surface only touch each other if the base surfaces are tangent to each other. Any surfaces that meet at a sharp edge instead of meeting smoothly need to have the offset surfaces extended and intersected with each other. The mechanism to do this in the geometry library that MoI currently uses is not very good at that particular type of thing and so it's very unlikely that you would be able to use MoI very well for this type of of processing.
