Precision Modeling
Create components of any complexity with a huge 3D feature set alongside an epic sketching environment. Precision is built into everything, and models can be easily edited repeatedly while you work out the details.
Learn moreSheet Metal Design
A dedicated yet familiar sheet metal modeling environment provides tools for the specific needs of sheet-good design. Instant flat patterns and tools to convert regular models into unfoldable sheet-metal models make quick work of any sheet metal component.
Learn moreAssembly Modeling
Bring components together and represent the full digital prototype. See and simulate realistic motion including gears, pulleys, and screws. Create exploded views that can be consumed later in 2D documentation.
Learn moreDrawings
Create perfect 2D documentation for individual components and assemblies. A huge array of tools ensures you can get any view or detail committed to the document, so you can have confidence with manufacturing and patents.
Learn moreRendering
Quickly turn 3D models into photo-realistic images. Prove-out cosmetic material considerations and colors without prototypes. Make images for your website, catalog, or assembly instructions.
Learn moreScripting
Automate complex events with ease using the Python-based scripting language. Create components, access data sources, make user-interfaces, and save time with your repetitive workflows.
Learn moreData Management
Alibre PDM is a fully integrated data management solution that helps to manage your designs and files. It includes versioning, where-used, rollback, search, rich metadata, backups, multiple users, local deployment, and much more.
Learn moreFile Formats
Open data from any CAD system, including 2D and 3D formats. The freedom to work with anyone regardless of their CAD system is a huge bonus.
