Cobalt 11 + Graphite 12 Research, Charitable & Retired Edition gives designers, engineers, and inventors a completely integrated set of tools for 2D/3D sketching, concept development, visualization, photo- realistic rendering, and precision engineering drawings. Cobalt 11 + Graphite 12's unique hybrid solid and surface modeling brings unmatched flexibility, power, and accuracy, while its associativity and history-tree allow for easy design exploration and fast engineering changes.
Cobalt 11 + Graphite 12's on-demand parametrics make creating variations on an idea faster than ever before. The unique Ashlar-Vellum interface makes Cobalt 11 + Graphite 12 the easiest to use of any 3D modeler. Now you've got the creativity to design any shape imaginable, the flexibility to approach the problem any way you choose, and the power to get the job done fast. Cobalt 11 + Graphite 12 gives you the tools to set yourself apart from the pack and establish your unique design identity.
Cobalt 11 + Graphite 12 includes a courtesy license to Graphite for easy management of legacy Vellum files. It also comes with the Ashlar-Vellum mechanical parts library of 97,000 nuts, bolts, washers, pins, locknuts, retaining rings, rivets, and bearings. All parts are precise 3D solid model representations provided in ANSI, BS, ISO, JIS, and NF standards.

Edu Proof
Proof of Academic Status
Research, Charitable & Retired Licensing (RCR)
This special-use software license of any of Ashlar's CAD or 3D modeling programs is for:
- Non-profit academic institutions with professors and paid graduate students doing CIVILIAN research;
- Academic institutions using the software internally, such as maintenance engineers employed by a university using for facilities management;
- Other charitable and non-profit organizations such as hospitals, churches and arts organizations including museums and theaters;
- Individuals who are FULLY retired from all gainful employment, over 65 years old, and doing non-commercial design work only
- A signed RCR pre-ship agreement for each end user;
- Charitable and non-profit organizations (i.e. hospitals, churches, and arts organizations including theaters and museums) must provide proof of non-profit status, such as a 501c3 form from the Internal Revenue Service.
Please note researchers and developers working for a military industrial complex such as many national labs governed by large universities do not qualify.
Student & Teacher Unit Licensing (STU)
Teachers using Ashlar software to teach design and their students must provide the following:
- A signed STU pre-ship agreement (PDF)
- For faculty: a copy of your current faculty ID
- For students: a copy of your current student ID
All STU licenses are activated with a registration code that expires 1 year from date of rental purchase. Active STU users must verify their eligibility each time they purchase or renew their rental.
