ALIBRE DESIGN EXPERT NOW INCLUDES “MOMENT OF INSPIRATION” SOFTWARE

ALIBRE DESIGN EXPERT NOW INCLUDES “MOMENT OF INSPIRATION” SOFTWARE 

Provides Optimal Speed & Ergonomic Design for Consumer Product Creation
Lets You Quickly Capture Your Idea & Get it on the Screen

Richardson, TX, December 7, 2010 –Alibre Inc. www.alibre.com, today announced the inclusion of the simple, yet powerful rapid concept creation and surfacing design tool, Moment of Inspiration^TM (MoI), in Alibre Design Expert.  Created by Michael Gibson, the original designer of the Rhino modeling tool, MoI makes product and concept design easy, fast, and accessible to more designers.    

Alibre’s inclusion of MoI into Alibre Design Expert means that customers have the ability to more easily create consumer product designs and also brings uncompromising speed to the concept design phase.  

“Adding MoI opens up many new doors and opportunities for our customers to create new classes of products,” said J. Paul Grayson, CEO, Alibre. “When you look around you, many of the things that people touch or use on a daily basis have an aspect of ergonomics and visual richness.  Optimal design of consumer-oriented products benefits greatly from the additional tools which MoI brings to the table.” 

“It’s called Moment of Inspiration because the second you have your moment, your great idea, you want to capture it and get it on the screen in front of you and then build on the momentum of your creative process. MoI is simply the fastest and easiest way to do this on the market today,” said Max Freeman, VP Marketing, Alibre. “MoI is for product designers what SketchUp is for architects.” 

Opens Alibre Market to Rendering & Game Development 

The combination of Alibre Design Expert and MoI also provides a gateway for other 3D CAD programs, such as Solidworks, Inventor, and Pro/E, enabling their native CAD models to be brought into Blender, SketchUp, Maya and any other rendering or game development platform that supports OBJ files. SketchUp output (SKP) is also supported.  Traditional mesh-based modelers have their place, but often you can design mechanical-looking components of a scene substantially faster in a 3D CAD system. 

For additional MoI product information, please see www.alibre.com/products/moi-for-alibre.asp.  

MoI is included in Alibre Design Expert, the flagship design suite from Alibre, priced at $1399 and available at:  www.alibre.com/store.  Alibre Design is also available priced at $99 for Alibre Design 2011 Personal Edition (PE) and $699 for Alibre Design 2011 Professional.  For a free trial or for more information, please visit www.alibre.com.

MAKE YOUR OWN ROBOT FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH ALIBRE

MAKE YOUR OWN ROBOT FOR THE HOLIDAYS WITH ALIBRE  
 

Kids & Adults Create Robots with Alibre DIY 3D Design at Home, School, & Work:
·        Robot that Walks & Sees
·        GPS Unmanned Robot Vehicle
·        Artistic Robot

Dallas, TX, November 18, 2010 – Alibre, Inc. www.alibre.com, the award-winning developer of the world’s most affordable professional 3D design software, announced today that Alibre Design 3D lets you create your own robots for the holidays.  The perfect holiday gift for anyone that loves science and creating robots, inventions, and gadgets, the award-winning Alibre Design was used by kids and adults to create one-of-a-kind robots, including “Stance” the walking robot, the “Skunksworks Lab” GPS controlled unmanned vehicle robot, and “SADBot,” the drawing robot that creates art according to the season and weather.   

“Stance,” the Biped Rebot that Walks & Sees  

“Stance,” is a biped walking robot with a smooth human-like gait, created using Alibre Design, by Josh Sanderson, President of JGS Technical.  “Stance” walks through remote control and “sees” through a high-definition video camera.  Unlike most hobbyist robots that have a spasmodic and abrupt walk, the “Stance” robot walks smoother, with more realistic motion.  Sanderson found it is easy to build a customized robot using Alibre.  Once the basics of his design were created in 3D with Alibre, Sanderson tweaked it with the information he got from his study of walking, and added custom parts created in Alibre.  Alibre Design’s parametric controls allowed him to exactly adjust sizes and positions of parts during his experiments.  

Do It Yourself Robot at Home 

Anyone can create a robot like “Stance, which was made using Alibre Design with the basic building blocks of a small motor, servo, and mounting bracket from the hobbyist dealer, Lynxmotion’s Servo Erector Set.  Lynxmotion provides 3D part models in Alibre’s format, so designers can choose to configure the components in many different ways.  “If I need to make custom parts, it’s simpler to do the fitting on the 3D model with Alibre.  All the accurate measurements are right there,” Sanderson explains.  “I can adjust each of the parameters and have the models react immediately.  Alibre Design is a high-level parametric modeler, which makes it ideal for prototypes.”   

Students Create Award-Winning Unmanned Vehicle Robot  

Students from the Southern Methodist University (SMU) “SkunkWorks Lab” created a GPS controlled unmanned vehicle robot activated via a cell phone interface.  Under the supervision of Nathan Huntoon, Director of the Innovation Gymnasium, SMU, the SkunkWorks Lab used Alibre to design all the parts of their vehicle, before they even built it.  “What is amazing, is the students designed the vehicle in 3D first and when it came time to fit all the parts together, every piece fell in place perfectly,” said Huntoon.  The Skunkworks Lab recently displayed their award-winning design at the TEDxSMU event in Dallas. 

Solar-Powered Artistic Robot Created for New York City Gallery 

Dustyn Roberts, Founder of Dustyn Robots, used Alibre Design to create SADbot (Seasonally Affected Drawing Robot), a solar powered, interactive drawing robot created in partnership with Ben Leduc-Mills for the Eyebeam Window Gallery in New York City.  Roberts and Leduc-Mills used two 18.5” x 13” solar panels to power two stepper motors which controlled a pen in two dimensions.  SADbot took input from people walking outside the gallery window by using a set of sensors which tell how much light they’re getting (photocells).  SADbot knew if someone was covering up one of the sensors, and could change its drawing behavior accordingly.  SADbot was also recently on display at the Maker Faire convention for inventors and makers, held September 2010 in NY. 

New Alibre Design 2011 with Dramatic Improvements – Makes it Easier to Create a Robot 

The winner of Maker Faire Detroit’s “Editor’s Choice” 2010 Award, Alibre is providing exciting new ways for people to create and design robots and gadgets in 3D.  Alibre recently announced the more powerful Alibre Design 2011 with dramatic improvements in ease-of-use, efficiency and performance.  Priced thousands less than competitors, starting at only $99 for Personal Edition (PE), $699 for Professional, and $1399 for Expert, new improvements and features include a full port of the code to C# (making it the first native 64-bit version), powerful sheet metal conversion tools, and a myriad of time saving tools and customization features.   

“Alibre Design 2011 lets people take their vision and turn it into a reality in record time by digitally prototyping or printing their 3D models, enabling everyone, from adults, kids, DIYers, inventors, tinkerers, entrepreneurs, designers, engineers and scientists to become entrepreneurs and set-up their own businesses in their homes and garages,” said J. Paul Grayson, Chairman and CEO, Alibre Inc.

CAD and CAM may not be the sexiest buzzwords in computer software these days, but 3D is red hot, and, really, what is a CAD/CAM app but a 3D design program? Alibre Design 2011 has just released, and it offers anyone from tinkerers and DIYers to engineers and scientists the ability to design in three dimensions, starting from just $99.

Alibre Design 2011 lets users make 2D sketches that are then converted to 3D representations (either shaded displays or wireframes), and it’s simple to view cross-sections, too. The cross-sections themselves can be used as the basis for new designs, which is handy if you’re designing something that will be built from multiple parts that have to fit together. Once you’ve created a 3D model of your widget, you can reconvert it back to 2D drawings, for production, too.

Alibre Design 2011 represents a considerable upgrade from previous editions. The code has been ported to C# and the result is the app’s first native 64-bit version. Improvements are said to include a new in-place 2D editing framework with hyper context-sensitive tools that allow users to design without continually referring to toolbars and dialogs.

Alibre Design is available at three price points: Personal Edition for $99; Professional for $699; and Expert Edition for $1399.

Huge Leap in 3D Design Performance at a Low Cost

Lets Everyone Become Inventors at Home or Office — Priced Starting at only $99

Richardson, TX, October 25, 2010 – Alibre Inc. www.alibre.com, the award-winning developer of the world’s most affordable professional 3D design solutions, today announced a huge leap in 3D CAD design performance with the release of its latest version, Alibre Design 2011.  Alibre Design 2011 now makes 3D designing easier and more robust with major enhancements, including a complete top to bottom code re-write, native 64-bit version, powerful sheet metal conversion tools, and a myriad of time saving tools and customization features.  Available immediately for download at:  www.alibre.com/store, the highly anticipated Alibre Design 2011 release delivers dramatic improvements in efficiency and performance. 

Now Even Easier for Less Technical Users & More Robust for Higher End Users 

Priced thousands less than competitors, starting at only $99 for Personal Edition (PE), $699 for Professional and $1399 for Expert, Alibre Design 2011 brings the power of 3D CAD design to everyone, from DIYers, inventors, tinkerers, entrepreneurs, designers, engineers and scientists.  Alibre Design 2011’s new improvements and features include a full port of the code to C#, making it the first native 64-bit version — important for demanding users that want to create designs of enormous size and complexity. 

New Alibre Design 2011 Features Include: 

• New Sheet Metal Conversion Tools with Automatic Conversion – imported or natively designed solids are now able to be automatically converted into unfoldable sheet metal parts, so users can take libraries of solids generated from other applications and convert them into fully native, editable sheet metal parts.  Sheet metal parts can also be designed in a normal part workspace and then converted to sheet metal later, fast tracking many common design requirements

 

• Complete Code Rewrite and Native 64-bit Version for Larger & More Complex Models – Alibre Design 2011 has been completely rewritten in the C# programming language, in addition to being re-architected to support a native 64-bit version of the software.  This enables Alibre power users to make models of incredible complexity and size, while providing tremendous performance benefits.

 

• New Faster 2D Detailing Framework Avoids Confusing Toolbars & Dialogs – 2D detailing is now incredibly fast with the new in-place editing framework.  This set of tools is hyper-context sensitive, allowing users to avoid toolbars and dialogs almost altogether.  By clicking on items, available options are shown directly at the mouse, and users can make edits to almost anything in real-time, without cumbersome dialogs.

“We are tremendously excited to be able to provide our customers with this release.  More so than in any previous version, Alibre Design 2011 brings a wonderful complement of stability, performance, and new features that will fundamentally enable new workflows and design practices,” said J. Paul Grayson, Alibre Chairman and CEO.  “As usual, almost all of the enhancements were directly driven by our customers.  And the feedback we’ve gotten from the beta program, is that people are extremely excited.”
