Best way to make curves in models?

I would like to know the best way to make curves in models other than using a 3D modelling application. What plugins and features should I use? Currently Blender is most commonly what tends to be used from my perspective.

I would say, get comfortable with unions, and aligning cylinders to parts. It takes quite a bit of time to get used to, but it’s definitely an option.

I highly recommend a plugin called “Archimedes Two”. Very straight forward and easy to use!
There’s also “CSG Curve Cutter”, but personally I barely use it, and it’s only for unions.

I’ve tried CSG Curve Cutter, not a fan of it. Thanks guys.

This particular curvature is created quite simply by aligning a cylinder to each corner, as Fxuzy suggested - no plugin is necessary in this case.

The empty space should always be an even distance in either direction (i.e. 1x1, 1.5x1.5, 2x2).

Ahh yes, I have done that before, but didn’t get the best results (for what I needed).
