Self explanatory.
It would be amazing to finally have MacOS support and I’m sure many more would pay for the software if it did support other platforms. So many programs are multi-platforms…
I asked about this roughly 2 years ago and was told it was planned and being worked on slowly but steadily.
Is this still being worked on, do we have an idea of how much time it may take?
Thank you for your work.
Hi,
Yes it’s coming. As you write; we’ve been working slowly but steadily. It took over 2 years on and off.
The new UI (cross platform) is running already pretty nicely after a lot of work last 3 months.
We mostly need to work on last details of the UI.
We’ve presented the UI at the formnext tradeshow to whoever was interested. Below a screenshow of the curent state. We plan to compile a beta year end.
The windows native installer will also remain operational; they are build from the same code.
So users can pick what they prefer.
kind regards

Elco,
Thank you for your response, this is great news.
I hope that the development will be done in not too long.
Will we will have access to the beta download once it’s ready?
This screenshot looks very good.
Seems intuitive and simplified. More modern.
Thank you again for your great work.
I am sure that a lot of people will be interested in buying the slicer once it is cross-platform.
Kind regards.
yes we’re still working on it. Sorry missed your post as it needed approval somehow.
Mac mini is in the office and it’s compiling.
kind regards

Yes sorry for teh slow progress. On and off i work on it betweem commercial requests.
I’m able to run teh software and use it on mac in development mode (debug). 99% is working.
Current challenge is compiling it in release mode and getting it published… it will require some days to figure out how to do it. Mac is horror to get software published to be honest.
But as said; it’s an ongoing process and we try to make some progress every month when we find the time.

Hi,
Yeah there is an update and work being done this year.
In short; we have an SDK version of the software running succesfully on linux64 and arm64 servers.
We’ve converted the license library to a new version that works on mac/linux as well. This was a lot of work.
It needs a little tweaking to make the trial versions work as well. But most work is done here.
So it’s slowly getting there…
Can I promise on a date; no.
It’s just commercial work goes first… and there have not been a lot of requests for mac to be honest…
kind regards
Elco
