Really this is more a geometry question than OpenSCAD but I know you're a
knowledgable lot.
I've recently been playing with creating nets of solids with non-planar
faces. When folded, such nets result in curved surfaces, but as polyhedra,
the non-planer surfaces are minimally triangulated.

When constructed in a 2-D rigid material like card, all surfaces assume
curved shapes, though these are not necessarily uniquely defined - some
faces are bi or multi-stable indicating multiple solutions.

I'd like to find some optimisation method which would produce a
triangulation of the solid which would satisfy the fixed edge length
constraints whilst minimising curvature (or something like that)
Any pointers?
