New Online training for Alibre 3D CAD

Training is very important for 3D CAD whatever system you use! The difficulties for Mintronics as an Alibre 3D CAD training provider is that our customers are spread across the whole UK. Where ever we hold the training course it will be in the wrong place for 95% of our customers. The next problem is that if training attendees are traveling to the venue then costs increase for travel and for accommodation. Even though we have a special arrangement for low cost rooms at our Le

Today the price remains at 20 to 30% of our main competitors but as we are advised there are new systems at the lower end of the market available, some on the cloud and other cut down versions of larger systems. All claiming to be ex

The news just announced is that 3D Systems Inc have sold Geomagic Design and that the buyers are from the original management team from Alibre times (the name of the software pre Geomagic Design).

Mintronics history and Values / First Blog

Before starting Mintronics, I worked as a sales manager for a design agency and software reseller based in the North East.

In addition, many resellers tried to apply a single solution to every need. But one size does not fit all engineering requirements for every company. So I decided to form Mintronics and be
