Ease-of-Use
The intuitive interface of Alibre Design isn’t cluttered and complicated like other design software, it is streamlined to make the design tools you use every day immediately accessible, making it easier to learn and use, and making you more productive.
Part Modeling
Create your designs quickly with all the powerful 3D parametric features you would expect: extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, shell, patterns, arrays, and more. Offering the best of both worlds, Alibre Design’s innovative Direct Editing allows you to break free of the constraints of parametric modeling and dynamically push or pull faces and features to get the results you desire.
Assembly Modeling
Alibre Design gives you the flexibility to design assemblies the way you want. Use existing part features to create new parts quickly and avoid repetitive work. The cutting edge ‘drag-n-drop’ constraint mode takes the guesswork out of putting your assembly together – it’s almost as if the new part already knows how it fits. After constraints are applied, quickly visualize assembly behavior by dragging parts on screen to see the relative motion of parts in the assembly.
2D Drawings
Create production-ready engineering drawings in a snap. Orthographic projections, sections, details, auto-filled title blocks, fully ballooned exploded views with Bills of Materials – it’s all in there. And when the3D model changes, all the drawings automatically update.
Design Configurations
Efficiently build and manage projects with a variety of similar parts or assemblies by simply saving different configurations in the same file. Easily develop and save design variations of similar parts or assemblies that can be changed or substituted on the fly.
Sheet Metal
The Alibre Design Sheetmetal module allows you to quickly create intelligent sheet metal parts while specifying material thickness, bend radius, and K-factor. Add flanges (including contour and lofted flanges), closed corners, bends, dimples, and user defined features such as punched or stamped forms. Work with your model in either the folded or flattened form for easy visualization, detailing, and editing.
Data Exchange
Alibre Design supports all standard 3D and 2D data exchange formats. A SolidWorks importer is also included, reading SolidWorks files directly into Alibre Design.
Alibre Design offers completely integrated data and process management for your files and workflows.
Whether you are a small business or a large corporation, the Alibre VaultTM by M-Files® will satisfy your data management needs.
