- Jul 19, 2018 I've asked on the Alibre Forum, will report back if i get an answer. I purchased Alibre Design PE (Personal Edition) with the advanced Import/Export tool (for Step files and compatibility with Solidworks and Inventor part/assembly files) without maintenance option, so bought outright with no future updates.
- Alibre Design Vs SolidWorks. December 22, 2009. Traditionally Alibre has always compared its software with that of SolidWorks. Some time ago Alibre had an interesting marketing line which went something like “get 80% features for 20% of the price”. That was when the price of Alibre Design Standard was 20% of SolidWorks.

Alibre Design is reasonable mechanical CAD. Nostalgia margarator replacement cable. Exports to STP, SLT, and IGS have all been good and are easy to generate. The software becomes slow when we import electronic models from Altium Designer, but that is expected due to the size of these files. Cons: Modeling errors are often ambiguous.

It looks like Alibre just announced it, and is pricing it for the home/hobby level user at about 250.00.
Their site says nothing about a subscription, so im assuming its a one-time purchase price.
I've been using Inventor, HSM and AutoCAD for several years, mostly because I was a student, working on a Mechanical Engineering Technology associates degree.
Now that I've graduated college, ill be needing an alternative soon. I was considering Fusion 360 but the Alibre option doesn't look bad either.
I'm downloading the trial version right now.
As a school trained AutoCAD and Inventor user, ill report back my impressions of the new Alibre Atom3d software.
