Core Functionality - Model Creation and Documentation |
| |
|
 |
3D Model Creation  
Get the idea to working prototype fast. Alibre Design offers a rich set of 3D
modeling tools for the fast creation of complex geometry. Bottom-up and top-down
design allows you to work efficiently. Everything you make is instantly
editable, allowing for fast iterations. |
| |
|
 |
Surfacing Tools
Alibre Design Expert comes with Moment of Inspiration (MoI). Incredibly
powerful and easy to use, MoI offers surfacing and rapid concept development
capabilities so you can create more ergonomic, consumer friendly products. |
| |
|
 |
Sheet Metal Modeling
If your design calls for sheet metal Alibre Design offers advanced modeling
tools that make it easy. Flanges, closed corners, complex lofts, dimples, and
many other tools combined with instant flat patterns get accurate and fast
results. |
| |
|
 |
Advanced Sheet Metal Modeling
Advanced sheet metal tools include: Conversion of normal or imported parts
into unfoldable sheet metal parts, lofted flange creation, and contour flange
creation. These tools fundamentally change sheet metal workflows, providing
superior speed to the design process. |
| |
|
 |
2D Documentation Creation
Turn any 3D model into a 2D drawing instantly. Comprehensive detailing tools
make efficient work of fully conveying your intent. When you update your 3D
model, all associated drawings update, including annontations, views, section
views, etc. |
| |
|
 |
Design Configurations 
If you work with parts that have variations on the same basic design then you
need design configurations. Create variations of parts or assemblies and keep
them in a single file. Simply choose which configuration you want to use at any
point. |
| |
|
 |
Direct Editing Toolset
A toolset dedicated to working with geometry when feature history is not
available. Easily change the sizes of holes, or move entire parts of the model
around without editing a single feature. Perfect for working with imported parts
or making last minute changes. |
Extended Features for Workflow Improvements and Downstream
Applications |
| |
|
 |
2 Standard Part Libraries
Don't waste time modeling common components or waste money building things
you can get off-the-shelf. Two part libraries offer millions of standard and
manufacturer-specific components for every industry, all just a download away. |
| |
|
 |
Photorealistic Rendering
Show clients what they're getting before it's made and use it to win bids.
Create compelling brochures to drive sales or create a beautiful virtual product
line on a website. Rendering so easy you will be productive inside of 30 minutes
with no previous experience, guaranteed. |
| |
|
 |
Document Management
The Alibre Vault provides complete document, process, and contact management.
Supports every file type from Excel to PDF to 3D models. Easy to use with fast
search and completely customizable to fit your business. Use it as a single user
or deploy it across your organization. |

 |
Alibre Motion
Fully integrated into Alibre Design, Alibre Motion offers advanced motion
analysis capabilities. Easily set up motion elements by reusing relationships
you've already set up in the assembly. Graph things like a part's velocity,
position, and many other things. You can also export movies. |
