CURVEmachine is a free Blender add‑on from MACHIN3 that provides non‑destructive editing of POLY and NURBS curves. Its Blendulate tool creates and modifies curve radii, arcs and non‑circular blends, while additional utilities handle symmetrizing, cutting, merging and conversion of splines.
Developed by MACHIN3.

About Curvemachine
CURVEmachine is a GPL‑licensed Blender add‑on developed by MACHIN3 to extend curve editing capabilities for POLY and NURBS splines. Version 1.4.2 supports Blender 4.2 LTS through 5.1. The core Blendulate tool lets users create, edit, and undo curve radii, arcs and non‑circular blends in a non‑destructive manner. Supplementary features include adding a single‑point poly curve at the cursor, Flick Symmetrize across the object origin or cursor, Knife cutting and splitting of splines, point merging across splines, sliding points along segments, reversing spline direction, adjusting thickness, extrusion and resolution, toggling cyclicity, and converting between POLY and NURBS types.
Features
- Blendulate tool to create, edit or undo curve radii, arcs and non-circular blends
- Add a single-point poly curve at the cursor’s location to quickly start extruding
- Flick Symmetrize a spline across its curve object’s origin or across the cursor
- Knife cut curve points into splines, or split splines into multiple
- Merge to the last selected point or the center of the selection, including across two splines
- Slide a curve point along its previous or next segment, and reverse a spline’s direction
- Adjust curve thickness, extrusion and resolution, toggle spline cyclicity, and convert POLY and NURBS splines
Best for
Blender artists who need precise, non‑destructive control over POLY and NURBS curve geometry, including radius and arc creation, spline conversion, and advanced editing tools.
Frequently asked questions
Does CURVEmachine work with Blender 5.1?
Yes. CURVEmachine version 1.4.2 is compatible with Blender 5.1, as it supports Blender releases from 4.2 LTS through 5.1.
What does the Blendulate tool in CURVEmachine do?
The Blendulate tool enables creation, modification, and removal of curve radii, arcs, and non‑circular blends, allowing these changes to be made without permanently altering the original curve geometry.
Is CURVEmachine free to download?
The catalog lists CURVEmachine as free, and it is released under the GPL license; pricing details should be confirmed on the developer’s page for any future changes.
Can CURVEmachine convert between POLY and NURBS splines?
CURVEmachine can convert curves between POLY and NURBS spline types, providing flexibility to switch spline representations during editing.
