How would you go about designing a involute gear tooth? Is it possible using
CSG? Or perhaps is it better to use SOR or even lathe? I'm not convinced a
Superquadric Ellipsoid would be good, as I'm concerned that it won't be
accurate. However I'm intrigued by the isosurface, given that I could somehow
feed it the function for an involute surface, say an extrusion of a 2D line
based on the base circle diametre.

Hoping for some constructive feedback. :)
