Since the start of our MacOS support on MeshCAM, we’ve compiled the application for Intel Macs. When the M1 was released, Apple shipped it with Rosetta, their translation system that allows Apple Silicon processors to run Intal applications, so we conted on that to keep MeshCAM running on MacOS.

Build 39 of Version 9 of MeshCAM just added a new command, “Replace Geometry” under the Geometry menu. As the name suggests, the command will let you replace the geometry in a file without removing the toolpaths. This is useful for a few reasons:

Build 19 of Version 9 of MeshCAM adds a new “Quick Flip” job type to simplify the process of machining two sides of a model. It does this by enforcing a more rigid workflow for the user, but it also reduces the likelihood of mistakes.

How could there be a V8, V7 is still in Beta? That’s a good quesion, it just kind of happened.
