RedEye RPM Partners with Alibre to Offer Instant RP Quotes

By DE Editors

RedEye RPM (Eden Prairie, MN) and Alibre, Inc. (Richardson, TX) announced a new partnership that enables users of Alibre Design 3D CAD software to obtain instant quotes for designs using RedEye’s Web-based quoting system.

As part of the partnership, RedEye created a software add-on for Alibre Design that generates instant quotes for parts and assemblies directly inside the Alibre Design interface. In addition, designers can securely transmit the design to RedEye to build after receiving a quote.

The quotes are based on services offered by RedEye RPM, which houses nearly 100 additive fabrication systems in its facilities worldwide, most of which are fused deposition modeling (FDM) systems manufactured by Stratasys.

Alibre Design, part of Alibre’s Personal CAD/CAM family of integrated 3D parametric design and manufacturing products, supports the .STL output for rapid prototyping and manufacturing, which closely integrates with RedEye’s online, instant quoting system. Alibre will create and offer, as a free download, a special version of its 3D parametric design product, Alibre Design Xpress, which will include RedEye’s instant quoting add-on.
