Argon

History-free, precision 3D modeling.™

Argon offers entry-level 3D modeling without the commitment of high-end professional packages — without the high-end mechanical design and extreme productivity features you may not need yet. For both Macintosh and Windows, Argon lets you model with such a straightforward interface that you'll forget you're using a computer. Intended for those needing precision 3D modeling without cumbersome parametric history.

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.
