What is GRAPHITE 2D/3D CAD?

When you want easy-to-use, but absolutely accurate 2D and 3D CAD software, that's Graphite. Formerly known as Vellum, Graphite offers extremely powerful and precise wireframe design with the elegant ease of use that makes it productive even when used only occasionally. Running on Mac and Windows, Graphite provides an interface that allows creative people to do the work without worrying about how to run your software.

Easy user interface with Drafting Assistant

Vellum magic is addictive - ask any Ashlar-Vellum customer why they use our products and you'll hear about "Vellumness". Throughout the product line, the unifying element is the magical sensation of creative simplicity and energy efficient. It anticipates your needs and offers help silently, without distraction or intrusion.

Create drawings of unlimited complexity - go down to detail. There is no limit to your creativity, so why should there be a limit to your CAD software? Graphite allows you to create 2D and 3D wire drawings of unlimited complexity and precise detail.

Conceptualize and then create - graphite is great for those who want to explore the initial design ideas with 2D sketches and then create 3D wireframe 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 know when someone is not a candidate for Ashlar-Vellum products. They tell us that they "perform such a CAD program", taking great pride in the difficulty of their software. If operating a heavy CAD system is your greatest calling, don't buy Graphite. If changing the world by collaborating on new and innovative designs is more your style, you've found the perfect tool.

Build or manufacture with confidence - Graphite's accurate data ensures accurate designs, speeding up the manufacturing process.

Outdo the competition - leading design innovators share a common tool: Ashlar-Vellum products. From renowned jewelry designers in New York and Paris to sports equipment companies in the Pacific Northwest, from Apple Computer to Scaled Composites, Graphite's flexibility frees creative people to focus on design.
