I need to turn curve into a mesh using modifier so i can work non-destructively, and be able to make boolean with curves without convert it to mesh then export curves to cnc

Here is the situation: I'm modeling ornament with curves and when the client is happy with the result i need to send the curves to the cnc machine so it can carve on real wood.

    You can't boolean with curves directly in Blender and you can't non destructively convert to mesh. See https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/165827/using-a-b%c3%a9zier-curve-to-raise-lower-height-of-vertices/ for workarounds – Duarte Farrajota Ramos Mar 01 '21 at 22:32
  • thanks Duarte, very clever workflow but it doesn't suite my situation because I need to get benefit of curve custom bevel feature so i can simulate the carving bit i think i need that modifier to be compiled :) mean while i will convert to mesh, get client comments, modify the curve, reconvert to mesh and replace the old boolean – elbannhawy Mar 02 '21 at 04:55

You can solve this very easily with Geometry Nodes and the node Mesh Boolean (Blender 3.x):

If you want to use already existing curves in Geometry Nodes, just add them with the node Object Info and replace the example shown here.
