"When you can earn back your investment after one design, there is no longer any reason to put off the move to 3D."

"I've been using AutoCAD LT almost exclusively since 1998. I started out with AutoCAD in the 80's, like so many others, and when I headed off on my own, budget was tight and time was even tighter," said Cliff Griffin, R&D Engineer. "I had wanted to move to 3D, but thousands of dollars was out of the question, so I went searching for an alternative, and found Alibre. Alibre Design has a lot to offer, and this is one case where the new guy definitely has the better deal. I like telling others about a good deal. I tell them about Alibre."

"We were using AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT and thought we would need 3D only for special cases," says Gaspar Acevedo, Engineering Manager with Magove, a manufacturer of machinery and tooling in Queretaro, Mexico. "On my second day using Alibre Design, I was already doing common parts. The software is very easy to use and the support staff is the best I have encountered. The bottom line is that by working in 3D with Alibre Design we're getting designs down to the shop floor quicker and more accurately, and we've significantly reduced rework re·work
