Alibre Corporation is an engineering firm with a web presence at alibre.com that showcases the company and its desire to bring 3D design, modeling software, and hardware to everyone at an affordable price. Alibre is a pioneer in affordable engineering solutions, going head to head against engineering giants that produce 3D CAD/CAM programs costing into the millions of dollars. Their product line consists of three main pieces of software. Business class CAD/CAM products, AlibreDesign Pro, and AlibreDesign Expert, allow advanced 3D model creation and sheet metal modeling, combined with automated surface tool design and 2D documentation creation. When combined with the 3D printers that the company manufactures, the software can allow amazing resolution images with high speed and durability for about $15,000.
For persons not requiring the exacting precision of the pro series, alibre.com also offers CAD for hobbyist, AlibreDesign PE, or personal edition. This software allows the amateur designer to create projects in two and three dimensions, and then easily export the project specs for production or manufacture all for under $200.
Several videos on alibre.com offer visitors the opportunity to actually see the programs in use and have a better understanding of three dimensional modeling. The website also offers a full suite of training materials and videos or online classes. For customers needing more, full paid training is also available. Support is offered in the form of pre purchased plans that are based on the product purchased, and include free upgrades as they become available. Alibre offers an online ticketing and resolution center staffed with live chat and telephone support as well.
