Alibre Design has proved itself to be a truly invaluable tool at Avid. Being a small, specialist company, anything that enhances our ability to turn projects around quickly, while improving accuracy and precision, is a valuable tool. The fact that you can achieve this with a remarkably manageable learning curve is all the more welcome. Both these products are now very much a core resource used in almost all areas of the business be it product design, tool design, creating images for literature (manuals and brochures) or even designing layouts for exhibition rooms.

 

Undoubtedly the affordability makes these products very attractive, but low-cost alone would count for nothing if the compromise was too great - however in this case you are left wondering where the compromise is! Since the introduction of Alibre design, which has replaced our traditional 2D packages, product development times have fallen dramatically - literally from month/years to weeks and in some cases, days. It is a very rare thing when an investment has such an immediate and profound impact on a business.
