Ashlar-Vellum Launches Version 12 of Cobalt, Xenon, and Argon: Revolutionizing 3D Solid and Surface Modeling Software

Design News Header Ashlar-Vellum, a reputed tech company known for its cutting-edge 3D solid and surface modeling software, has unveiled version 12 of its trio of products – Cobalt, Xenon, and Argon. This latest release promises to revolutionize the world of 3D design due to its power-packed features and enhancements. For both Mac and Windows users, these products offer an upgraded design experience with greater fluidity and ease. "With Version 12, innovation meets fluidity, to amplify design capabilities and inspiration," says Robert Bou, president of Ashlar-Vellum. He also commended the company's team of developers, technical, and customer support specialists worldwide for their significant contributions in the midst of prevailing global challenges. One of the key highlights of Version 12 is the introduction of true 64-bit architecture. Say goodbye to memory constraints as the upgrade to 64-bit processing facilitates the effortless handling of voluminous assemblies. That's not all. The ACIS 3D modeling engine has been turbocharged, offering users the privilege of experiencing hyper-accurate modeling at supersonic speed. This enhancement stems from the fine-tuned algorithms that promote higher efficiency and precision. Keeping up with the latest advancements, Cobalt, Xenon, and Argon v12 now support the most recent versions of DWG, DXF, 3DM, SAT, STEP, IGS and Parasolids (X_T, X_B). This boosts compatibility and interoperability within your design ecosystem. Sit tight and brace yourself for a speed revolution with breathtaking redraw speeds. Enjoy up to 350% faster redraw speeds on Windows and a jaw-dropping 1000% boost on macOS for heavy models. Performance is not a luxury anymore; it's a given. The v12 trio welcomes full-scale support of the latest SpaceMouse, SpaceNavigator, SpaceController, and SpacePilot devices, drivers, and operating systems. Users can also look forward to a seamless workflow across multiple screens with the resolution of issues related to application window sizing, retina/non-retina mix, and Phong MTS display. The applications are now fine-tuned for visual harmony with Retina displays on macOS and HiDPI displays on Windows. Enjoy crystal clear visuals even when dragging the application across different types of displays. The enhanced Unicode support also allows you to comfortably work with files bearing Unicode symbols in the name or path, when opening, saving, importing, or exporting. With an uncompromising focus on user safety, Ashlar-Vellum has fortified the security of its products. Vicious malware posing as friendly file types has been rooted out, so you can open CO, XE, AR, IGES, SAT, 3DS, X_T and X_B files with confidence. Since its establishment in 1988, Ashlar-Vellum has been a leading provider of precision CAD and 3D modeling software that automates and simplifies the design process for drafting, design, and engineering professionals on both Macintosh and Windows platforms.
