Product Description
Alibre Design is the easiest to use and most accessible mechanical 3D CAD software on the planet. Alibre Design delivers parametric modeling, associative 2D drafting and detailing, and real-time Team Design for less than 20% of the cost of other mid-range solid modeling software. With three levels of the software - Standard, Professional, and Expert - you can decide which features are right for you and your budget. Whether you are just getting into CAD, upgrading from a 2D package for faster design times, or doing advanced sheet metal and FEA, there is a level of Alibre that is right for your business. Alibre also offers the industry's first and only on-demand, in-program collaborative support. Walk through any design project with an Alibre engineer at your side, live! No other CAD software offers this at any price. Optional live, interactive training on topics from sheet metal fundamentals to making great looking exploded views. You also get a free year of support and upgrades, and staying current is just 1/5th the cost of other mid-range CAD maintenance packages. Keeping your investment and personal knowledge up to date has never been more accessible to everyone who wants it, not just everyone who can afford it. Since the single biggest frustration CAD users have with 3D solid modeling software is how hard it is to get technical support after the sale,* Alibre customers enjoy benefits that go way beyond the powerful software. Alibre Design Standard features: 3D parametric solid modeling - parts and assemblies - parametric sketching - interference detection - spreadsheet-driven designs. Advanced part modeling tools including 3D sketch, surfacing tools, shelling, etc. Associative 2D drafting. Advanced drawing functions including: - associative Bills of Materials - broken, section, detailed, partial and auxiliary views. Exchange data in STEP, IGES, DXF, and DWG. Real-time Team Design. *Consumer Satisfaction Survey, 2004

5 out of 5 stars Best solid modeling for the price.   July 5, 2006

Alibre is a true parametric solid modeling software for a great price. Here at Industrial Tool Services we saved thousands in engineering costs in the first few months. We could not have asked for a better value with features well above the cost of the software.

Now we are no longer dependant on multiple programs for doing 3D and 2D designs. Even the full assembly drawings can be generated automatically from the solids.

They also have a great user forum so drop in and say hello.



5 out of 5 stars Affordable Parametric Modeling Program   June 28, 2006

Alibre Design is a full featured parametric modeling program that allows quick creation and modification of 3-D solid models. With features that rival the expensive competitors, Alibre's straight forward user interface makes solid modeling understandable even to the casual or occasional user.

Kelsey WoodWorks uses Alibre to design custom furniture and cabinetry, and maintain a library of standard designs from which we can derive new designs. Drawings and Photo Renderings can easily be created from the Solid model, and update automatically with changes to the design.

We have found our answer for a powerful, flexible, and affordable software for our design needs.
