MASTER PLATFORM
Alibre Design
PARAMETRIC 3D CAD · 29 SP1
The platform MET designs real machinery on and sells with local support: parts, sheet metal, assemblies and production drawings.

The CAD/CAM we actually build machines with
Alibre Design is MET’s main platform — the one our delivered machines are designed on, and the one we sell and support in Thailand. MCAD and MECHCAD are our own software, still under development, with a demo build you can test today.

SOFTWARE PORTFOLIO
Alibre is the platform we stand behind; MCAD and MECHCAD are the alternatives we are still building
Production design work runs on Alibre Design, which we also sell and support in Thailand. MCAD and MECHCAD are MET’s own software — not finished yet, but a demo build is available to test.

MCAD and MECHCAD are MET-built software. They are not yet feature-complete against commercial CAD, but a demo build is ready to try on your own files. For production deliverables we still recommend Alibre Design.
MCAD 2026
Professional 2D drafting without relearning the craft
MCAD 2026 provides a familiar drafting environment with a cleaner, faster workflow for machine drawings, installation plans, factory layouts, detailing and drawing handoffs.
01
DWG / DXF workflow
Open and save DWG/DXF straight after install—no extra converter—keeping layers, colours, linetypes and drawing data intact when files are handed on.
02
Command-driven drafting
Ribbon and command line side by side, with object snaps, Ortho, Polar and a smart dimension tool that latches onto the geometry you point at.
03
Symbol & standards library
A ready-to-place library of 700+ electrical symbols, plus shared standards for layers, text, dimension styles and layouts.
04
Wiring & panel drawings
A wizard for control and panel schematics—place devices, run wires and number terminals in sequence—with a macro API for repetitive work.
MECHCAD 2026
From a part to a machine in motion
MECHCAD unifies 3D CAD, assembly, drawing, CAM and automation so one engineering model can support fit checks, manufacturing preparation and motion communication.
PART DESIGN
Parametric sketches and features—extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, holes, fillets, patterns—with built-in gear and feed-screw generators, and feature recognition that makes imported STEP parts editable again.
ASSEMBLY
Build the whole machine: mates, constrained dragging, interference and clearance checks, a large-assembly mode that holds up past two thousand instances, and one-click BOM with balloons.
DRAWING
Drawing views straight from the model—projections, sections, hidden lines and dimensions—ready for the shop and the site.
CAM
Milling and turning jobs: toolpaths, cut simulation, backplot, G-code through post processors configured for your actual machines, and setup sheets.
AUTOMATION
Simulate cobot and SkyRobot pick-and-place: motion recipes, a timeline view and collision checks before anything is built.
ONE ENGINEERING FLOW
Choose the tool around the work
Drawing & layout
MCAD for 2D detailing, layouts and DWG/DXF workflows.
Machine design
MECHCAD or Alibre for parts, assemblies and model-derived drawings.
Manufacturing
MECHCAD CAM for toolpaths, simulation, G-code and setup documentation.
Automation study
MECHCAD Automation for cobots, SkyRobot cells, recipes and timelines.
LOCAL IMPLEMENTATION · THAILAND
Test the workflow with your real files before choosing a platform
MET can review sample files, parts, CNC equipment, drawing standards and handoffs to build a demo around your team’s actual work.
