RICHARDSON, Texas, September 30, 2002 - Alibre rolled out a new demo CD that provides a free 30-day trial of a full working version of Alibre Design 5.0. For one-tenth the cost of other mid-range solid modeling applications, Alibre Design offers professional 3D solid modeling, 2D associative drawing, data management, secure CAD-neutral data sharing and real-time Team Design.

The new demo CD also includes tutorials, testimonials, product information, an image gallery of models, and a video overview of Alibre Design, plus offers and discounts from Alibre Solution Partners. The demo CD may be requested at the Alibre web site and will be distributed to 170,000 Design News subscribers with the October 7 issue.

"With this free trial, CAD users can evaluate a full working version of Alibre Design 5.0 and see that-for just $495-they really should make it their first choice," said J. Paul Grayson, Alibre CEO. "We invite all CAD users-whether they are interested in trying solid modeling, adding more CAD seats, replacing their existing 3D package, or trying Team Design and data sharing-to evaluate Alibre Design."

With the purchase of Alibre Design, recipients of the demo CD also get free access to the CADalog.com library of more than 8 million standard and manufacturer parts, as well as a 30-day trial of Alibre PhotoRender, a new photo-realistic rendering module powered by LightWorks from LightWork Design.
