Remember Alibre? That’s what people will be saying after today (or may have already been saying.) Alibre is the company and makers of Alibre Design 3D modeling software that was by 3D Systems in July of 2011. As of today, Alibre is with Geomagic, the makers of Geomagic Studio 3D scanning software (and other design, inspection and haptic products) that was by 3D Systems this past January. Now 3D systems has merged Alibre with Geomagic–the two become one; a big, happy geometry-shaping family. 3D modeling bliss and water-tight mesh babies soon after? Geomagic Design At the moment, I’m not sure which website to direct you to. There’s the page and then there’s the that says, “Alibre is now Geomagic!” Here’s what it says further in on the Alibre site.

At 3D Systems we are committed to improving and democratizing access to powerful and affordable 3D software solutions for the benefit of professionals and beginners alike. A key part of that commitment is to combine the Alibre products and team into the 3D Systems Geomagic group and an initial step is that we have rebranded Alibre Design products as Geomagic Design.

Alibre Design PE Review. Home / Software. These features are available on Alibre’s professional and expert editions. Alibre Design PE’s file compatibility is. AlibreCAM® is based on our industry leading VisualCAM software that is fully integrated in Alibre Design 2017. From simple 2-1/2 axis to full 5-axis indexed milling.

This means that the software will now be a core part of a much larger, yet highly experienced, software operation, making available additional support, development and training resources. It also means that the Geomagic Design products will ultimately be able to benefit from the other interesting and game-changing technologies in the Geomagic group that deliver 3D haptic modeling, reverse engineering, scanning, and inspection software.

We are all excited about this transition and foresee great possibilities in the future of the Geomagic Design software. So, most likely, you’ll see the Alibre site eventually phased out or rather, redirected to the Geomagic Design page. Neither here nor there. Alibre is now Geomagic. What does this entail? Two things: New names, versions and updates for the Geomagic Design product line and a bundle of Geomagic software.

The Alibre Design products will now be called, Geomagic Design Personal, Geomagic Design Professional and Geomagic Design Expert. The prices remain the unchaged with Expert ringing in at $1,999 USD and Personal for $199 USD.

Expert and Personal are the only versions listed on the Geomagic website, so I assume the Professional version pricing sits somewhere between those two prices ($999??). There is a via the Alibre website. Geomagic Design + Geomagic freeform is also an offer on the table that combines “organic, touch-based 3D sculpting into a workflow with robust B-Rep CAD and detail design tools from Geomagic Design.” Base price on these are $20,500. This answers the questions about what 3D Systems was going to do with Alibre after Geomagic Spark was, software that combines SpaceClaim and Geomagic tech together.

Now it stands to ask what the plans for Geomagic Spark are going to be now that Geomagic Design is available.
