NURBS have been used in high-end CAD systems for some years. For example, NURBS-based systems are behind the beautiful flowing curves in auto modeling. But now availability of low-cost NURBS-based ...

Hello, this is Teruemon.As someone involved in 3D CAD for work, there was some news that caught my attention.NVIDIA has ...

NURBS stands for nonuniform rational B-spline curves. In AutoCAD, you can treat a NURBS surface as a 3D spline with fit points. These fit points can be used to manipulate the geometry. They also ...

A free-form-modeling technology based on N-sided surfaces eliminates the tedious task of laying out square patch networks. A main goal of CAD pioneers Bezier, de Casteljau, and Coons was to give ...

A researcher from the University of Tokyo and a U.S.-based structural engineer developed a new computational form-finding method that could change how architects and engineers design lightweight and ...

This chapter contains practical information for NURBS implementers. It contains the most important data specifications, namely two IGES formats, and several examples of commonly encountered NURBS ...

NURBS may be the standard surface representation for CAD, but that doesn’t mean they’re ideal for all design jobs. For conceptual design of organic shapes (for example, a motorcycle tank), there are ...

A main goal of CAD pioneers Bezier, de Casteljau, and Coons was to give engineers ways of easily generating shapes from curves with a computer. This made sense because design often involves ...
