Solid Modeling Solutions (SMS) was formed in early 1998, founded with a commitment to deliver quality products and services with a strong commitment to responsiveness and partnership with our customers. Alliances were developed with GeomWare and IntegrityWare and the non-manifold topology features led to the initial SMLib product in mid-98. A new alliance was established in 1999 with HarmonyWare driven by close collaboration with our customers. This led to IGES, STEP, and VDAFS data translator products in 1999. In late 2001, Nlib was purchased from GeomWare, and the alliance with IntegrityWare was terminated in 2004. Enhancements and major new features are added twice-yearly. SMS is convinced that a small team of talented and motivated experts create better and more efficient products than large corporate projects.
SMS software is based on years of research and application of NURBS technology. Les Piegl and Wayne Tiller (a partner of Solid Modeling Solutions) wrote the definitive "The NURBS Book" on non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) with aids to designing geometry for computer-aided environment applications.<ref>Les Piegl & Wayne Tiller: ''The NURBS Book''</ref> The fundamental mathematics is well defined in this book, and the most faithful manifestation in software is implemented in the SMS product line. More on the history of NURBS and key SMS team members can be found at [http://www.smlib.com/aboutus.html#team SMS team] on the SMS website.
