NURBS (non-uniform rational B-spline), 3D geometry, and solid modeling technology emerged in the 1980s and 1990s into a commercial implementation known as SMLib (for solid modeling library). This article will provide the background and history of this implementation into a commercial product line from Solid Modeling Solutions (SMS). SMS is an independent supplier of source code for a suite of NURBS-based geometry libraries, SMLib, TSNLib, GSNLib, NLib, SDLib, VSLib, and PolyMLib, that encompass definition and manipulation of NURBS curves and surfaces with the latest fully functional non-manifold topology.

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.

PolyMLib is an object-oriented software toolkit that provides a set of objects and corresponding methods to repair, optimize, review and edit triangle mesh models. It can be used to analyze surface properties, such as smoothness and curvature distribution, as well as to repair and optimize surface meshes.
