Hi Meow,
You are correct but there is a notable difference : the Z movement is continunous in their case. Which means it will produce a helicoidal trajectory on a cylinder profile for instance.

What topolabs aims for is what has existed for years in CNC machining : the tool path follows the components topology instead of arbitrarily defined planes.
