Alibre users are even more independent with Datakit’s native interfaces

Usicad is the sole importer of Alibre software in France. Loyal to the CAD vendor’s strategy, it applies a principle that is often used by CAD suppliers, namely that it brings 3D CAD to the biggest possible user population. With its attractive solid modelling capabilities and persuasive price tag, Alibre is the strongest growing CAD software. However, Alibre is not just about smart marketing: it really fills a gap in the existing CAD offering for departments needing a simple solution….

Weight watchers welcome a new fast, precise flawless STL !

STL, the precursor of the world’s streamlined data formats, was created in 1990 by 3DS, the leading rapid prototyping vendor. It’s underlying principle is to represent geometry by a mesh of triangles. Easy to manage, generate and deploy, the format has since been adopted by all the makers of this type of machine, and also by developers of viewers that use STL files.

Some data exchange formats come and go like fashionable clothes: here today, gone tomorrow. Others become part of the landscape and are even adopted as industry standards. The aerospace industry is a leading-edge market that, long ago, adopted the STEP-TAS/NRF/SPE standard, pioneered and managed by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Space and Technology Centre (ESTEC).
