Alibre Design, The best CAD and CAM value

Alibre Design is a powerful, fully featured low-cost application for 3D parametric solid modeling. With it, you can create precise 3D mechanical designs and generate and detail associative 2D drawings. At a fraction of the cost of Pro/E, Solidworks, and Inventor Alibre Design is the best value of all the 3D modeling packages available. Fully integrated with the Alibre Design family is a fully associative parametric CAD/CAM system, making Alibre CAM by far the best value in the CAD/CAM industry.

Whether you need to make a decision about which CAD application is right for your business or would rather spend time learning the basics of 3D modeling with no pressure, Alibre Design 30-day trial is the all-in-one evaluation and learning tool.

Stop playing around and start playing around. If you have projects that require any type of design, then you need Alibre Design Personal Edition (PE). It's easy to use, powerful, and much faster than a trash can full of crumpled paper drawings.Alibre Design PE delivers the hobbyist no-fluff, unabridged 3D power with automatic 2D drawing creation and STL export at a hobby-friendly price. Design it, document it, change it around, perfect it, and then make it. Explore more design options and get it right the first time.

Alibre CAM

The Alibre CAM family of products offers several options to fit your machining needs. All Alibre CAM products are fully integrated with Alibre Design, offering an intuitive combined user interface for CAD and CAM, fully associative toolpath updates, and a wide variety of post processors. Compared to a stand-alone CAM system, Alibre CAM will save you countless hours by automatically updating toolpaths when your model changes. And being integrated with Alibre Design means you only have one interface to learn, saving even more valuable time.

The Alibre CAM family of machining products is built on technology that is in production at thousands of locations worldwide. From simple 2½ axis to full 5-axis indexed milling, Alibre CAM will help you make parts, fast.

Fully integrated with the Alibre Design family of 3D design products, you get a fully associative parametric CAD/CAM system for 1/5 the price of competing systems, making Alibre CAM far and away the best value in the CAD/CAM industry.
