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>Piegl, Les & Tiller, Wayne. [https://www.amazon.com/NURBS-Book-Monographs-Visual-Communication/dp/3540615458/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351272003&sr=8-1&keywords=the+nurbs+book ''The NURBS Book''], Springer 1997</ref> The fundamental mathematics is well defined in this book, and the most faithful manifestation in software is implemented in the SMS product line.
 
Solid Modeling Solutions was acquired by NVIDIA of Santa Clara, California in May 2022. The technical team was hired and continues to employ SMS technology in developing the Omniverse. See https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/omniverse/ for details. SMS products are no longer separately licensed. The Omniverse requires a NVIDIA license.
