Create complex assemblies
Test fit, function, and form before going to production. Easy drag-and-drop constraint creation and WYSIWYG tools get the work done fast. Create parts in an assembly based on other parts, make exploded views, and perform analyses.

Precision sheet design
A dedicated Sheet Metal Modeling environment provides you with everything you need to model nearly any sheet metal design, including lofted transitions and closed corners. Convert regular or imported solid models into sheet metal models. View flat patterns with one click, and then take it into 2D for manufacturing.

Why we’re different
Focus
Alibre Design is not for every designer, and we like it that way. We focus on the tools that most people use. This keeps usability high, training fast, and cost of ownership low.
Easy to work with
Our sales, support, licensing, and pricing policies are all designed to make your life easier. If you have a special need, let us see how we can help.
Access is important to us
Our mission is to make professional design tools available to everyone that needs them. That’s why our cost of ownership is lower than other CAD packages, and our training is free.
