Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM) 2026

About The Conference

The Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM) is a yearly international conference held with the support of the Solid Modeling Association (SMA). In 2026, it will be jointly hosted with Shape Modeling International (SMI 2026). The combined event will take place from July 6 to July 9, 2026, in Istanbul Technical University, Türkiye. The conference focuses on all areas of geometric and physical modeling, including their applications in design, analysis, manufacturing, and fields such as biomedical engineering, geophysics, and digital media. Additionally, the event will feature the presentation of the 2026 Pierre Bézier Prize, honoring outstanding contributions to solid, shape, and physical modeling.
