History-free, precision 3D modeling.鈩
Argon offers entry-level 3D modeling without the commitment of high-end professional packages. It contains the same solid and surface modeling, rendering engine and animation tools found in Cobalt鈩 and Xenon鈩, but without the high-end mechanical design and extreme productivity features you may not need yet. For both Macintosh and Windows, Argon lets you model and render with such a straightforward interface that you鈥檒l forget you鈥檙e using a computer. Intended for those needing precision 3D modeling without cumbersome parametric history.
The Vellum® magic is addictive鈥攁sk any Ashlar-Vellum customer why they use our products and you鈥檒l hear about 鈥淰ellumness.鈥 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.
Switch seamlessly among modeling tools鈥攃reate a solid then add a surface鈥攐r the other way around. Don鈥檛 change modes or views, simply work with any tool, any way you want.
Work in a non-linear creative environment鈥攐nly Ashlar-Vellum鈥檚 Organic Workflow鈩 allows designers to create outstanding products through easy design iteration, transparent tools, and hands-on control of the production process. Start anywhere necessary within the design process and move freely in any direction. This allows the creative process to sustain radical change while still maintaining integrity.
Draw any shape鈥攂reak through the limits of traditional CAD鈥檚 lines, arcs and circles to the world of organic shapes, free flowing curves and sensual lines.
Facilitate and improve manufacturing and analysis鈥3D models enable CAM-driven machining, rapid prototyping like stereolithography, and allow engineering analysis to be performed. Without them, you're working in the dark.
Rise above the competition鈥攍eading 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, Argon鈥檚 flexibility frees creative people to focus on design.
Transfer files seamlessly鈥攃ollaborate creatively with others. Even files from high-end, enterprise-based CAD programs can be imported and exported. Work within the power and elegance of the Vellum interface, then export the file to meet the demands of less enlightened CAD users.
Show what you mean鈥攖he photo-realistic rendering in Argon goes beyond visualization to reality. 3D models promote greater understanding among designers, customers and manufacturing.
