System requirements

PreForm is supported on computers with:

  • Windows 10 (64-bit only, ARM not supported) and up
  • macOS 13 or later
  • OpenGL 2.1

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.
