Alibre Design software

Alibre is a sophisticated but easy-to-use part modelling system. If you have already used other CAD3D software, the you will seamlessly transition to Alibre Design. If you wish, you can change the interface, customise keyboard shortcuts and even the way you rotate the workspace with the mouse.

Design fully parametric by building a model or using catalogue of ready-made operations. And if you are missing a tool - use the ready-made ones scriptsor prepare your own. The programme's capabilities are not a limitation on creation.

  • Part modelling
  • Modelling of assemblies
  • Sheet metal modelling
  • Technical documentation
  • Visualisations
  • Scripts

One of the simplest user interfaces (see description)
  An intuitive way of working based on familiar standards allows you to start working smoothly in Alibre very quickly. We provide a choice of classic menus or ribbons.

Still new functionalities (see Alibre scripts)
  If you are missing some functionality, Alibre Script comes to the rescue, using all the options provided by the Alibre Design kernel. If you don't feel up to writing the script yourself using our manual, we can help, or we will write it for you.

Best value for money (see package comparison)
  Alibre Atom 3D is one of the cheapest CAD programmes on the market with functionalities that can be used for a wide range of applications - from personal, hobbyist projects to fully commercial modelling of machine components or 3D prints, and, thanks to the possibility of cooperation with CAM software, also modelling of machining on CNC machine tools.

A free file viewer with great possibilities (see Alibre Viewer)
  Alibre Viewer allows you to do more than other viewers because in addition to Alibre files, it also opens SolidWorks®, STEP, SAT, and AutoCAD® DWG, DXF technical documentation formats with the ability to save to Alibre format.

Fixed price maintenance renewal (see price list)
With us, there are no penalties for users who do not have active maintenance. The price for renewing maintenance is the same regardless of the expiry date.

Reliable technical support

We provide assistance during phone calls, remote sessions, by email, or via chat, which is available on our website alibre.co.uk 24/7.

Affordable instalment plan or leasing
Buying by instalments is no problem at all at the moment, as you are able to complete all the formalities over the phone or online. You can even receive a decision on your credit on the same day.

Alibre Atom3D

Alibre Atom3D - the simple CAD solution

Alibre Atom 3D is a software designed for designers who value simplicity and ease in the process of modelling 3D elements. It allows even the most ambitious ideas to be realised by creating designs for 3D printers, CNC machines or laser cutters.

It originates from Alibre Design (compare versions) intended for industrial applications, but the toolkit is tailored to make using the programme as simple as possible while maintaining its high functionality. This makes the creation of designs fast, intuitive and precise, and saves you time and money.

  • Model 3D elements
  • Create assemblies
  • Analyse the kinematics of your projects
  • Generate flat documentation

3D printing
  Alibre Atom3D is a great tool for working with 3D printers. The large number of options when creating STL files enables the creation of high-quality models. The generated models work well with popular slicers like Ultimaker Cura, MakerBot ® Print, Slic3r or Simplify3D.

CAM for CNC machines
  The ability to export files to a large number of formats makes Alibre Atom3D compatible with virtually any CAM software. For more efficient working, you can also use the fully integrated Alibre - AlibreCAM.

Laser cutting machines
  Use the easy creation of 2D documentation to generate DXF and PDF files that you can use to cut and engrave any shape on any laser cutter. Any corrections you make to the 3D model are automatically entered into the technical documentation, so changes are quick and easy.

Creating your own projects
  If you don't have access to your own machine, outsource the creation of your original designs on sites such as 3D Hubs, Shapeways, Ponoko. Take advantage of the wide base of materials available, and with Alibre Atom3D you are assured that your project will be just as you planned.

Your shopping list
  If you decide to build the project yourself, you can quickly and easily create a 2D drawing, with notes and dimensioning. Use it as a shopping list at the DIY store and a plan to build your own masterpiece.

AlibreCAM

AlibreCAM - machining on CNC milling and turning machines

If you are involved in both design and production with CNC milling machines then you need a CAD/CAM programme. Most stand-alone CAM programmes can only generate a toolpath. Some additionally come with editing or modelling functions, but the design capabilities are significantly less compared to full CAD systems.

Alibre Design offers you an integrated CAD/CAM system with very powerful capabilities for designing 3D models and then preparing the machining on the milling machine or lathe.

AlibreCAM 2020 software comes in 5 different configurations tailored to the diverse machining needs of customers:

→ AlibreCAM Xpress (XPR)
→ AlibreCAM Standard (STD)
→ AlibreCAM Expert (EXP)
→ AlibreCAM Professional (PRO)
→ AlibreCAM Premium (PRE)

Machining operations 2.5 to 5 axes
 AlibreCAM offers a full range of machining operations in a user-friendly interface. It offers 2.5 axis machining operations, hole machining, milling in 3, 4 and 5 fluid axes, as well as turning and NESTING.

From left to right, top to bottom
 The AlibreCAM environment is easy to learn. You do not have to search through menus and wonder what you should do at a given moment, what option to choose. Following the principle "from left to right" - the interface will guide you to define, one by one, what is needed to prepare the correct machining process.

Treatment process
 Each machining operation has a number of parameters that can be defined to achieve the desired result. With the machining time calculation function, different machining strategies can be tried out to optimise the process.
