Yes, there is a way.

For this case, I would suggest to solve independently two 2D curves
corresponding to x(z) and y(z). This can be done using
org.apache.commons.math3.fitting.PolynomialCurveFitter if you consider
your curves will be polynomials, or you can use your own extension
of AbstractCurveFitter if you prefer your own non-polynomial model for
curves.

See
<http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/userguide/fitting.html#a17.2_Implemented_Functions>
for an example of how
to fit a polynomial to observed data.

Hope this helps,
