You should be able to describe (within any reasonable tolerance) the same curve with a bezier, however the control points will obviously be different.
Any imperfections in the physical spline, say a knot if it's wooden, would translate to a slight curvature difference.
- quickthrower2 4y agoSounds like the physical curves are a subset of bezier? So there might be some bezier curves that cannot be replicated physically
- samwillis 4y agoNot really, you can just add more and more control points to a Bézier and it will be possible to describe a curve to a greater accuracy. However, in reality when using Bézier curves you want to really want to use the minimum number of control point neccesery to ensure a nice smooth curve.
- quickthrower2 4y agoI mean vice versa. Can the physical thing do any CAD Bezier?
- hamburglar 4y agoA Bézier curve can have a cusp, which you can’t do with a physical spine.

- Jarmsy 4y agoExcellently integrated pun!
