Graphite offers extremely powerful, precision wire-frame drafting with the elegant ease-of-use that makes it productive even when only used occasionally. Running on Mac and Windows, Graphite provides an interface that lets creative people get the job done without worrying about how to run their software.
The Vellum® magic is addictive — ask any Ashlar-Vellum customer why they use our products and you’ll hear about “Vellumness.” Across our product line, the uniting element is the magical feel of creative simplicity and efficient power. It anticipates your needs and quietly offers help without distraction or intrusion.
Conceptualize then create—Graphite is great for those who want to explore initial
design ideas with 2D sketches then create 3D wire-frame designs themselves,
without the support or interference of a CAD operator “interpreting” their work.
Design and invent—don’t be a CAD jockey. We can always tell when someone is not a
candidate for Ashlar-Vellum products. They tell us that they “run such-and-such a
CAD program,” taking great pride in their software’s difficulty. If operating an
unwieldy CAD system is your highest calling, don’t buy Graphite. If changing the
world through collaborating on new and innovative designs is more your style, then
you’ve found the perfect tool.
Build or manufacture with confidence—Graphite’s precise data guarantees accurate
drawings, speeding the manufacturing process.
Rise above the competition—leading design innovators share a common tool: Ashlar-
Vellum products. From renowned jewelry designers in New York and Paris to athletic
equipment companies in the Pacific Northwest, from Apple Computer to Scaled
Composites, Cobalt’s flexibility frees creative people to focus on design.
