'''Solid Modeling Solutions''' is a company who has an implementation of a mathematical representation of NURBS ([[Non-uniform rational B-spline]]), 3D geometry, and [[Solid modeling]] technology which emerged in the 1980s and 1990s into a commercial implementation known as SMLib (for solid modeling library).<ref>Potts Steves, Michelle and Frechette, Simon.

VSLib provides deformable modeling as part of a library using the constrained optimization techniques of the calculus of variations. The library supports several very different geometric operations.
