Create negative forms for Corian molding

We need to cover this with Corian, and the shop is asking for ribs to put across the heated Corian to hold it to the shape. I would pull out one rib at a time from the drawing to work on it. Is there a way to automatically follow the contour of the curve but 1/2 inch away? Then, I would make the rest of the piece just rectangular and send it to the CNC to create a negative shop jig.

This is assembly 831.06 in the project, if I shared the right file.

If you can think of a better way, please share.

Thank you.
