Ashlar-Vellum™ Wins
the 2012 Global CAD & Modeling Software
Product Differentiation Excellence Award
October 8, 2012, Austin, TX. Ashlar-Vellum announced that they have been awarded the 2012 Global CAD and Modeling Software Product Differentiation Excellence Award from a prestigiously-named market research and analysis firm.
Unfortunately, without the requisite US $40,000 to “license” the award Ashlar-Vellum is not allowed to mention the name of the awarding firm, much less receive any benefit from it including press announcements, quotes, or copies of the report.
“It’s a sad day when awards have to be purchased instead of given because of merit,” remarked Robert Bou, president of Ashlar-Vellum. “It makes it difficult for small firms to innovate and casts a shadow across awards given in all industries.”

Ashlar-Vellum™ Announces Competitive Comparison
August 15, 2012, Austin, TX. Ashlar-Vellum announced today a new competitive comparison contrasting their Organic Workflow™ design paradigm with seven of the biggest competitors in the 3D modeling industry.
Ashlar-Vellum showed how their Cobalt™ software uniquely supports the five basic tenets of the Organic Workflow philosophy more effectively than any other software, including:
- A non-linear workflow
- Parametric history on demand
- Transparent tools
- Holistic tool palette
- Continuous cross-team communications
Competitors included in the comparison are Alibre, SpaceClaim, KeyCreator, SolidThinking, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Alias and SolidWorks.
The analysis will be included next month in the Ashlar-Vellum user newsletter, The Design Explorer, and posted to their website at www.ashlar.com under the Products menu.
Robert Bou, president of Ashlar-Vellum remarked, “It’s because we consider the designer’s environment as a whole that Ashlar-Vellum software is so much more productive for many product designers, particularly non-linear thinkers who tend to think outside the box.“

Ashlar-Vellum™ Assists in Champion Design
of American Chopper Build-off
June 30, 2012, Austin, TX. Ashlar-Vellum announced today that their 2D/3D CAD package, Graphite™ v8, was used by Vince Costa of American Suspension to support Paul Teutul, Jr. pin designing innovative parts for the winning entry of the Discovery Channel’s American Chopper Build-off.
Inspired by the P51 Mustang fighter planes, Costa used Graphite software to design a never-before-used single-sided swing-arm front suspension, which attached the wheel on just one side of the motorcycle, leaving the other side open, similar to the plane’s retractable landing gear.
“Graphite is the kind of program that for a smaller engineering, entrepreneurial kind of [company] like mine really works well,” said Costa. “With Graphite we’re able to make stuff really quick and easy. It’s worked great for us.”
