5 out of 5 stars Affordable Parametric Modeling Program   June 28, 2006
WoodWorks (Oregon Coast, USA)
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

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.
