Agreed.

We are much more ambitious than that, we want to be that company that defines the industry for the next 30-40 years.

Thank you. Iโll sleep better knowing that. ๐
As far as I can see you are way ahead of the crowd, so itโs a probable outcome if you go on developing and make good choices as you have done so far!

I would like to ask if the Mac version of Shapr3D will be compatible only with Silicon M1 processors or older Intel Macs too? I am already using your application on iPad Pro but it would be great if I could use it on my 2017 iMac with Intel processor and Blacmagic eGPU too.
Thank you in advance for response.

Of course! Here are the minimum system requirements:
## Recommended
### Intel
At this point for an enjoyable experience a dedicated GPU is pretty much a must to have.
Based on slightly upped configurations of [MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017)](https://support.apple.com/kb/SP756?locale=en_US) and iMac [(Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)](https://support.apple.com/kb/SP760?locale=en_US)
**CPU** 3.4GHz quadโcore Intel Core i5 (desktop)
2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 (laptop)
**RAM** 16GB
**GPU** Dedicated GPU with 4GB VRAM
### Apple Silicon
Any current M1 equipped Mac (MacBook Air, MacBook Pro 13โ, Mac Mini) will provide a better experience than on Intel, on par or better than iPad Pro 2020.

The site mentions Shapr3D will be available in November for MacOSโฆ Iโm not seeing anything available currently. Am I missing how to install on MacOS (macbook pro), or is the launch delayed?

Itโs ergonomic as reduces main arm effort approx 30%, keyboard shortcuts as well.
