Exact and approximate representations of trimmed surfaces with NURBS and Bézier surfaces

A trimmed surface is usually represented as a parametric surface with a set of trimming curves. However, many CAD processes and algorithms cannot be applied to trimmed surfaces directly because of the complexity in manipulating trimmed surfaces. Moreover, trimmed surfaces will create gaps between di...
