Apple Silicon/ARM64 support
Formlabs added native ARM64 (Apple Silicon) macOS support to PreForm in version 3.63.0, giving macOS users faster, fully native performance. Apple is dropping support for Intel-based apps in the upcoming macOS 28, expected in 2027.
Formlabs only guarantees support for the Intel-based version of PreForm for macOS through the end of 2026. Note that previous Intel-based versions of PreForm will continue to work after that date on older machines or if you have a compatible version of macOS installed.
