There is a plugin in the Polyhedron demo that allows you to mesh the 
offset surface of a given input mesh. The quality of the result depends
on the input criteria. It will generate a non-self-intersecting surface
but sharp feature that should be in the output mesh will not be present.

It handle positive and negative offsets.

The code of the plugin is here:
