: Use Combine (Join) to merge the patterned teeth, the thickened tape, and the main body into one continuous solid. Summary Table: Key Tools Pathing 3D Sketch / Intersection Curve Defines the zipper's trajectory. Patterning Curve-Driven Pattern Places multiple teeth along the path. Solidifying Thicken / Knit (Create Solid) Converts surface tape into a solid body. Wrapping Wrap Feature Embosses the zipper onto a curved surface.

: Once the surface looks correct, use the Thicken tool to give it a measurable, solid depth (e.g., 0.02 inches).
If you need the zipper to "wrap" around a complex curved part (like a bag or bottle):
