NURBS is a twisted acronym for "Non-rational, Uniform B-Splines", a
method for defining arbitrary
curved surface patches mathematically. Some advanced CNC controls can
cut a NURBS surface
directly from the matrix that defines the patch. So, a CAD/CAM package
is not needed to
convert from NURBS form to a series of toolpath movements in G-code.
