Press Release
Alibre and Informative Graphics Partner to Deliver Free
Viewing of 3D Models Created in Alibre Design
RICHARDSON, Texas, January 20, 2004 -- Alibre Inc.
today announced the inclusion of ModelPress Publisher in Alibre
Design™ Professional, enabling customers to publish and compress
3D models for viewing with the free ModelPress viewer. Alibre
Design Professional is a part of Alibre's family of professional
3D parametric solid modeling products for mechanical design and
manufacturing.
ModelPress Publisher and Viewer simplify the distribution of
3D CAD models for use in downstream business applications.
ModelPress improves online data sharing by providing the ability
to publish 3D models to any web page and uses compression
technology that reduces model sizes by 70 - 98%. Visual Rights®
options allow control of the viewer's ability to navigate
assemblies, measure, and generate cross-sections; and include
password protection, content expiration dates and onscreen
copyright banners.
"ModelPress is an excellent addition to the Alibre Design
product family," said Mike Kohle, owner of Poly Vector Company,
based in Atascadero, California. "It lets me send my 3D designs
to customers who don't use CAD software and they can view and
inspect it for free. This really expedites the design approval
process, helping me close more business faster."
"ModelPress is all about making 3D model publishing and
distribution as easy and secure as possible," said Gary Heath,
CEO at IGC. "We're excited it was chosen by Alibre to extend
their powerful 3D design products. We're confident this will add
a lot of value for Alibre's customers and allow them to get the
most from their 3D designs."
"A free 3D viewer has been high on our customers' wish list
for some time and we feel we've exceeded their expectations with
ModelPress," said J. Paul Grayson, Alibre president and CEO.
"Our vision is to put as much value in Alibre Design as systems
costing ten times as much, and ModelPress is helping us by
making 3D models accessible to anyone for free."
Alibre Design professional is $995 in the United States and
Canada. International prices vary, contact Alibre for details.
