Material removal by translation of a complex surface

3D Design Volume Model
1

I am in the process of making prints for a piece made on surfaces.
A shape of the part is undercut in relation to the axis of placement of the part, and I have to remove the material that will get in the way.

So I want to use the surface of the part, and have it translate along the output axis to remove the material.

Can you tell me if there is a method. I've tested a lot of things already:
- projection of surfaces on a plane: the surface in question cannot be used as a stopping surface.
- Offset and thickening: the axis of displacement is not a main axis of the part,
...

Thank you

I think it would be wiser to create volumes for these 2 pieces 

the male and female footprints

then you do a Boolean operation with removal of material from the male imprint

 and you end up with a volume part with an imprint of the shell of your part to be molded

Hello

Can you attach your piece so that we can see better and test???

Hello

Maybe with an offset area of 0 and the function to move the bodies.

The "borrow" function is the one I use, but it's not the function that allows you to remove the material on the output path of the part.

I'm going to think about offset 0 and move the bodies...

Thank you

Afterwards, if you want to remove material with a surface, you may need to enlarge the ends of this surface to delimit the intersection between the surface and the part.
