Consistent with the open source movement, Solid Modeling Solutions subscribes to the philosophy of source availability for application developers. Our reputation is based on the value and quality of the source code, but it also is solidly founded in the support of our products. SMS believes SMLib is a very robust geometry kernel, but the requirements for extensions continue in order to provide the functionality needed by our customers. Those extensions can be made directly by our customers, or they are made by SMS in conjunction with our customer's needs. SMLib is truly independent since there is no proprietary bias.

• "SMLib looks to be very interesting. I'm especially attracted by the fact that it is distributed in source code form. I hate opaque black boxes! Also the licensing terms seem to fit our needs."


• "Gotta love source code, and the VC++ debugger! This problem only slowed me down for 5 minutes, whereas if this was an object library it would have been a week in the very best circumstances."


• With respect to SMLib selection as one of the "Top 10 Software for 1998" by IEEE Computer & Graphics Applications, one of our customers said: "Congratulations! It's certainly one of my personal top 10."


• "In my opinion, the quality of the code is excellent - world class..."


• "...the support is nothing less than phenomenal. "


• And from a major software developer regarding geometry kernel independence: "The destiny of software developers that stick with ACIS or Parasolid will be inextricably linked to Dassault or Unigraphics. Any competitor posing risk to either company could put itself in jeopardy of delays in receiving updates, bug fixes, and contract renewals."
