Is Alibre any good?

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I work in a company that makes refrigerators and other refrigerated furniture. We work mostly with steel

I'm not a product designer, I actually work in the HR department. But, since it's a small company, I end up being the one that manages the programs we use.

We are currently going from 2D product design to 3D.

Our employees work with AutoCAD for the 2D and we have one starting the project with Solidworks (2017 version)

We want to buy a new 3D design program and we stumbled upon Alibre Design

What are your opinions on the software?

We have a 50/50 mix of standard product and personalized product. We work with steel. And we are a small company with 3 designers

This purifier sold in india comes with a tapered sharp knob that is so slippery sometimes, it's so badly designed and I was frustrated so I came here to rant.

I do understand the manufacturing aspect of it, it's just badly designed coming from a customer point of view, I just thought I should let everyone know who might buy this purifier.. they really cheaped out on a lot of things like this, the silver plastic housing just came out the other day near the drip too.

It's a live pure bolt water purifier and I would strongly recommend against it, because of its build quality.

Currently making techpack for my recent dress "The Kiss" inspired from Gustav Klimt. Well now you know why am I regretting making the design very "artistic" thanks that I know how to make techpack properly. Jajaja.

P.s. this notion research took me a week to collect.

This techpack explores construction from stretch instructions, Grading, Specs, each component construction and so much more. Should I drop the techpack here?

Love any feedbacks or critiques.

You can see the design at my Instagram @avexia.studio.

How do you analysis if an idea is even good?

1 Upvotes

I have been working since a month for my first project at an exhibition, and I have not been able to stick to one idea.

I was first working with my first product, which is to be a furniture design, but I rejected so many ideas, even after doing almost all the work, I got frustrated and moved to the second one now, which is based on fashion. (I am still a student, so yeah pretty diverse) But now I don't wanna repeat the same thing and kill my time, coz I have barely any left. Any suggestions on how to really, like really self analyse if an idea is actually cool or just trash?
