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

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). We are advised that the name of Geomagic Design will be changed to ALIBRE Regarding the future development and I was relieved to hear that the two main developers from old Alibre are pa

Before starting Mintronics, I worked as a sales manager for a design agency and software reseller based in the North East. I saw that customers were missing out on some excellent products that were not receiving attention or exposure. Those products offered great value and were competitive. 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
