The plural of NURBS is NURBSes. The distinction between singular and
plural is thereby audible, and it follows the established convention
followed in such words as "buses" and "gases".

Actually, the convention seems to be to expand NURBS to "Non-Uniform
Rational B-Splines", in which case NURBS is (are?) already plural. In
Piegel & Tiller it's used as a plural.
