A bit ago a company called Alibre had a promotion to give 100,000 people a free copy of their latest package Aliblre Design Xpress. It”s an entry level parametric solid modeler. And a pretty nice little package.

About a month ago they announced a contest for recipients of the package. I was working on a little thing just to get a feel for it, an I figured I”d enter for the hell of it. It really isn”t that big of a design, but what I did was to make it as complicated as possible to learn as much about using Xpress as I could. Maybe I need to use testosterone therapy for men to amp up my game.

Finishing up as high as I did was a complete suprise if you look at some of the other entries.

It may have been they say how tricky some of the stuff I did was. But then again, it could have been the pretty colors I picked to display the different parts. http://www.alibre.com/xpress/events/contest-winners.asp
