Alibre and 3D Systems Deliver Global First - Complete Design and 3D Printer Bundle for the Masses
17 Mai 2011 - 1:00PM
Business Wire
Today, Alibre, Inc., developer of affordable CAD/CAM software,
announced the availability of the industry-first 3D printing
hardware and software bundles. Partnering with 3D Systems
Corporation (Nasdaq:TDSC), the global leader and inventor of rapid
prototyping and 3D printing solutions, Alibre now offers complete
3D design and 3D printing for creators, DIYers and businesses. To
meet the 3D printing needs of a growing Maker community, the
bundles deliver the first-ever total personal manufacturing package
starting at under $1,500. This enables someone to go from idea to
3D model on a computer screen to actually holding the finished
product in their hands within hours.
Alibre will be demoing this industry-first this weekend, May 21
and 22, at Maker Faire – Bay Area, expected to ‘draw’ over 100,000
attendees. The Alibre booth will be located in the Expo Hall at the
San Mateo County Event Center. Makers will receive special event
pricing and incentives for the launch of Alibre's complete modeling
and 3D printing solutions and the company is giving away one
complete package to a lucky Maker.
“Alibre’s 3D CAD software combined with our portfolio of
personal 3D printing systems will allow individuals to become their
own one-stop design and printing shop,” said Abe Reichental,
President and Chief Executive Officer of 3D Systems. “It is an
exciting time for the maker community, as these content-to-print
bundles democratize access to affordable, easy to use integrated 3D
solutions.”
Starting at $1,500, Makers can get Alibre Design Personal
Edition™ software, which includes parametric modeling of parts and
assemblies and 2D detailed drawings, plus the 3D Systems’ Rapman™
Kit, a build-your-own 3D printing kit capable of plastic modeling
and rapid prototyping. Available for $4,999 and targeted at
professional use, Alibre offers the Alibre Design Professional
Edition™ software and 3D Systems’ BFB-3000™ 3D Printer, a
pre-assembled 3D printer sized for the users’ desktop, capable of
advanced multi-color prototyping with three print heads. Both
bundles offer import and export capabilities via industry standard
formats such as STEP, IGES, DXF and DWG as well as STL export
capability that provides a direct interface to the Rapman™ Kit and
BFB-3000™ printers.
“We are very excited to bring these 3D printing bundles to the
Maker community at such disruptively affordable price points,” said
J. Paul Grayson, chairman and CEO of Alibre, Inc. “Four years ago,
3D printing solutions cost nearly $25,000 without the 3D CAD
software. Alibre and 3D Systems will allow creators, DIYers and
Makers the ability to bring their visions to reality without having
to outsource the printing. Makers will be able to effectively run
3D printing factories in their own homes, offices or schools for
under $1,500, which has been unheard of until now.”
The bundles are available for purchase on the Alibre website.
