Computer-aided drafting the way

When you want 2D and 3D CAD software that’s easy to use, yet absolutely precise, that’s Graphite. Formerly known as Vellum®, Graphite offers extremely powerful, precision wire-frame drafting with the elegant ease-of-use that makes it productive even when only used occasionally. Running on Mac and Windows, Graphite provides an interface that lets creative people get the job done without worrying about how to run their software.

Easy to Use CAD

Luc Heiligenstein designed this sports watch using both Ashlar-Vellum drafting and 3D modeling software.

Graphite is a better 2D solution because it is easy to move parts around. You don’t have to be an engineer to run it.

Easy User Interface with Drafting Assistant

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.

Ashlar-Vellum’s Organic Workflow product suite has the unique quality of being not just a feature, but a philosophy—one that encapsulates the essence of a truly creative design process that engenders innovative product designs.

Frost & Sullivan, Best Practices Research Product Differentiation Excellence Award

Create drawings of unlimited complexity—get down to the details. There’s no limit to your creativity so why should there be a limit to your CAD software? Graphite lets you create 2D and 3D wire-frame drawings of unlimited complexity and precision detail.

Conceptualize then create—Graphite is great for those who want to explore initial design ideas with 2D sketches then create 3D wire-frame designs themselves, without the support or interference of a CAD operator “interpreting” their work.

Fast Productivity

Cabela’s fishing gear designer, Chuck Villarreal, wasn’t thrilled about moving to CAD from his t-square and drafting board. He found it cumbersome and unwieldy to accomplish his designs…until he found Ashlar-Vellum Graphite.

This program was so simple to learn I was productive in two days. Later, after attending training I became a rocket.

Design and invent—don’t be a CAD jockey. We can always tell when someone is not a candidate for Ashlar-Vellum products. They tell us that they “run such-and-such a CAD program,” taking great pride in their software’s difficulty. If operating an unwieldy CAD system is your highest calling, don’t buy Graphite. If changing the world through collaborating on new and innovative designs is more your style, then you’ve found the perfect tool.

Ideal for Entrepreneurs

Vince Costa designs and manufactures high-end motorcycle suspension systems. He loves the productivity Graphite gives his small business.

Graphite’s the kind of program that for an entrepreneurial deal like mine works good. I can’t afford to have 10 drafts people here operating different complicated programs. Graphite just seems to work fast which is really important because we have to be continually coming up with new ideas.

Build or manufacture with confidence—Graphite’s precise data guarantees accurate drawings, speeding the manufacturing process.

Rise above the competition—leading 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, Graphite’s flexibility frees creative people to focus on design.

Work with No Distractions

Wallace Beaudry, designer of these printing and die cutting machines and drums for Sohn Manufacturing.

When I work, my thought is centered on the design of a product. With Ashlar-Vellum software I quickly get that idea on paper. If I had to use AutoCAD, I’d lose my train of thought.

Open Source 2D-CAD

LibreCAD is a free Open Source CAD application for Windows, Apple and Linux. Support and documentation are free from our large, dedicated community of users, contributors and developers.

You, too, can also get involved!

How it started

LibreCAD started as a project to build CAM capabilities into the community version of QCad for use with a Mechmate CNC router.

Since QCad CE was built around the outdated Qt3 library, it had to be ported to Qt4 before additional enhancements. This gave rise to CADuntu.

The project was known as CADuntu only for a couple of months before the community decided that the name was inappropriate. After some discussion within the community and research on existing names, CADuntu was renamed to LibreCAD.

Porting the rendering engine to Qt4 proved to be a large task, so LibreCAD initially still depended on the Qt3 support library. The Qt4 porting was completed eventually during the development of 2.0.0 series, thanks to our master developer Rallaz, and LibreCAD has become Qt3 free except in the 1.0.0 series.

Meanwhile, for LibreCAD 2.2.0 series, Qt5 is mandatory.

LibreCAD is a feature-packed and mature 2D-CAD application with some really great advantages:

Completely and Utterly Free

No worries about trials, subscriptions, license costs or annual fees.

Open Source and GPLv2

Developed by an experienced team and supported by an awesome community, LibreCAD is also free to hack and copy.

No Language Barriers

It's available in over 30 languages with cross-platform support for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

macOS

Help is needed for macOS deployment.

Also special prerelease installer for beta testing versions.

Linux

Check your distributions preferred package manager, if LibreCAD is available there. But the version may be a bit older.
For Debian/Ubuntu distributions, you can use our Launchpad PPAs for stable or daily versions.

Build from source

This is an option for all platforms.

If we don't have the binary installer you are looking for, you can try to build LibreCAD from source code.
How this works for each platform can be read in our Wiki .

Source code could be downloaded from GitHub as ZIP archive.

Or you can clone or fork our repository, which is recommended if you plan to contribute.

The LibreCAD team is a small group of dedicated people. Lots of things have been worked out, but plenty of bugs and features are still waiting to be solved. How can you help? We need all the skills in the community as coders, writers, testers or translators.

An open source community is a dynamic thing; people come and go as their private situation drives or stops them contributing. So, it will always help if you have existing resources we can use, know what other projects do in specific areas, or, most importantly, do what you do best and have fun doing it!
You don't have to sign a lifetime contract to contribute. Whether you can help others in the forum, garden the wiki, or apply one or many patches, our broad user base will appreciate your work.

Come join our community, and contribute in any way you like.

Developing

If you are an outstanding developer in C++ or a beginner we can use your help.
With a bit of determination, the IRC channel, Zulip chat and the Libre-CAD-dev mailing list, we can help you get started and make progress.
All you need is linked in download section and top links above.

Documentation

Developers usually make bad documentation for users, so if you like making documentation, great!
There have been extensive GUI changes in 2.1 series which need to be documented.

Translation

Help localize LibreCAD, we currently support over 30 languages.
Our translation server is over here: https://translate.librecad.org/ .
You can complete new languages, or request creating translations for a new language in the forum .
