Reviews from Verified Users
Pat M.
VP R&D
I've been using Alibre  for years and highly recommend it! The learning curve isn't steep for such a powerful platform.
Phil K.
Operations Manager
I couldn't be happier with Alibre. One of the best parts of Alibre, as a whole, is their support of education.
Joseph K.
Engineer
I was an avid SolidWorks user and the shift from SolidWorks to Alibre was a short learning curve.
Michael C.
Owner / Mechanical Engineer
Alibre is an exceptional product. Very easy and intuitive to use. Seamless design process from concept to completed drawings.
Mike S.
Senior Technical Advisor
In my 8 years of using Alibre, I've never met an engineering task it wasn't suitable for, and I think that's a pretty solid reflection on the overall product.
Julian K.
Engineer
Communication with both suppliers and end users of our products has improved immensely. Alibre is a wizz for producing 3D printer files quickly.
Sascha U.
Freelancer
Alibre proves itself to be a good SolidWorks alternative for individuals and small businesses.
Matt H.
Chief Engineer
The cost makes it an easy sell for companies or departments on a budget. I have tried other software over the years, but I always come back to Alibre.
Robert B.
Engineer
Alibre is the way. The software doesn't fight me and enables me to be the most creative version of myself.
Stephan B.
Engineer
I adopted Alibre many years ago after having tried many others. What made the difference is the short learning curve.
Eric G.
Physicist
Solid models for complex MEMS devices, using Alibre, is efficient and accurate. Solid models exported as STEP files import flawlessly into COMSOL, which I use for modeling device physics.
John M.
Owner
Alibre allows me to compete in drawing of structural steel and miscellaneous streel without the high expense. For the cost it is a great software.
David J.
President
A real pleasure. Any idea I come up with can be modeled up in Alibre in short order, and then rendered or 3D printed, and drawings or solid model files made for contractors.
