This extension adds the option to save to an OpenSCAD or STL file by inflating the filled paths (convert all objects to paths before using) in your object. There are a number of parameters controlling the inflation.
The inflation height at a given point x is calculated as proportional to the L^p norm of the exit time of a random walk started at x (with some edge corrections, and with an optional exponential kill-time to flatten tops if desired).
There is also included an svg2scad extension that extracts paths to OpenSCAD point lists, ribbons or polygons. It also tries to handle nested holes.
The official home of the project is https://github.com/arpruss/inflatemesh

Hello,
Thank you for providing this extension for Inkscape users!
This is just to let you know that most 3rd party Inkscape extensions, like this one, probably will not work with the upcoming new Inkscape version, the long-awaited version 1.0.
Here is the info you need to update this extension, so that it will work with 1.0 and future versions.

If you have further questions, you can contact Inkscape developers via mailing lists (https://lists.inkscape.org/postorius/lists/?all-lists), forum (https://inkscape.org/forums/extensions/), or the chatroom (https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel)
If you have already updated it, please disregard this message.
All best,
