This is actually a great demo for Alibre Pro. Seeing this makes me think that I'd like to see a demo video with what Atom, Pro, and Expert can do. Just as a bit of a flex! P.S. 03:09 Why are there 2 pointers on screen. My mind took a while to compute...
We do have an item that was mentioned in the forums about that here. www.alibre.com/forum/index.php?threads/anyone-running-alibre-on-a-vm-thru-linux.22715/page-2#post-165751
Can I work with imported meshes? Obj, stl? What options do you offer for reverse engineering. Thanks Edited: I found a video working with a step file. Very nice. But still I want to know more about meshes for reverse engineering. I do compression molds. Male/female with offsets.
How comparable are the features in the pro version of alibre to Autodesk Inventor or is the expert version more analogous. The company I work for has been looking for alternatives and I'd like to suggest alibre as a potential solution.
Somehow this comment snuck by me. The pro version will do most things Alibre can do- Expert has some features like custom libraries and sheet metal. There is a list of features available here: www.alibre.com/buy-now/ and if I can help further, feel free to reach out.
I am thinking about buying atom3d to get away from Fusion's cloud model. It sounds like a lot of features I use are missing :/ No tangent arc, no mirror geometry? I can get the same work done without them, but I'm going to have to think about this...
Nice to hear from you, thanks for the question. When we talk about tangent arc, the workflow in atom looks like this: Create an arc, add a tangent relation. The enhancement in Pro and expert is that the arc is created with the tangent relation already, so you can save a few clicks, but all the functions are there and you can get to the same end result. Mirror geometry is available in atom, the enhancement in Pro is that you are able to mirror the entire part all at once, so we are talking about a part level mirror. If there are any other features that you have questions about, feel free to ask, and I hope that clarifies things! Best regards
Love the video, but it stinks most of these features are free with hobby license of other companies. As a hobbiest, I almost pulled the trigger on atom, but without basic things like drafts, it wouldn't meet my needs. I don't make money with my work, so $1000 is a bit steep for features I have with F360.
I really want to recommend this to both my RUclips and Twitter followers but the fact that Atom3D doesn't even allow for two concurrent installations and the archaic license "releasing" procedure really turned me off from doing so.
Interesting- I'd love to learn more about your needs. Are you in a position where frequent license switching or running multiple versions of Alibre is frequent/important?
Alibre's licensing is the one massive thing that got me to buy it in the first place. I pay once for a locally installed software. If I need a newer version, I can pay for it. Otherwise, I can keep using the one I paid for. I love it. In a world where everything is a subscription and you own nothing, actually owning my copy of the software is nice.

This might be the best demo video I've seen yet! Great work!!!
Thank you, that means a lot!
Where the heck has this program been all this time? Never heard of it until recently.
Could you do the same with Pro to expert
Great video showing the difference.
What happened to the cam software in atom3d?
Thanks for the explainer video. Does the subscription license include help desk support?
If you get maintenance with the license, you have top priority helpdesk support.
Onshape has this git type version control where you can create different versions of the same product. Does alibre has that?
The upcoming Version 28 has a PDM release with more of these types of features. Currently, the configuration functionality covers versions of parts.
It's been a LONG time since a CAD program took my breath away, wow!

P.S. 03:09 Why are there 2 pointers on screen. My mind took a while to compute...
Agree compare the 3
Atom is on one side and Professional on the other to show the difference.
Will the program be available for macOS?
We do have an item that was mentioned in the forums about that here.

@@AlibreLLCI would be so happy if alibre design was able to run on Mac.

Alibre currently can export in mesh formats such as STL and OBJ, but will not import meshes to date.
@@AlibreLLC any plans to import meshes? That's a deal breaker for us.
@@AlibreLLC also i can export my meshes en step. Do you think it would work? I don't want to use the trial and loose it.
