Alibre has announced that they have begun offering a free, time-unlimited parametric 3D CAD software - Alibre Design Xpress - to the Chinese market. They have also established a professional Chinese website (http://www.alibre.cn) to help Chinese users learn about the product and download the software. In addition, they have set up a Chinese user forum for Xpress on the website, allowing users to exchange and share experiences and insights regarding software operation as well as its application in design, engineering, and manufacturing, and to exchange opinions on common issues in 3D CAD.
Alibre has been closely collaborating with partners in the Chinese region. Especially with Pro-Creative Technology LTD in Hong Kong and CnTech Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, they have jointly developed two Chinese versions of the Alibre Design software and website, including both simplified and traditional Chinese versions. The Alibre Design Xpress software issued by Alibre in the Chinese market also includes a Chinese operation wizard, which helps users quickly grasp the basics of 3D parametric solid modeling. All partners of Alibre in China provide sales and technical services to users.
