CHITUBOX
CHITUBOX is a cross-platform slicing software for resin 3D printing, widely used by makers and professional manufacturers to prepare digital models for LCD and DLP resin printers. It converts STL, OBJ and other 3D file formats into printer-ready layered instructions, offering support for a broad range of resin printer models. The app handles model orientation, support structure generation, hollowing, Boolean operations, and print-time estimation. It is available in free and pro versions and is popular among hobbyists and small-scale 3D printing operations worldwide.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionCHITUBOX has been built exclusively as an Intel-only (x86) macOS app and the vendor has not yet shipped a native Apple Silicon version. The official documentation explicitly notes that the app runs under Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs, but with no guarantees about performance or stability. With the Rosetta 2 compatibility layer being removed in macOS 28 (late 2027), CHITUBOX will stop launching entirely on that release unless the vendor ships a native build before then. Check the vendor's website and release notes periodically for announcements of native Apple Silicon support. If you depend on CHITUBOX for active projects, consider contacting the developers to express interest in a native build, as user demand can influence development priorities. In the meantime, the app continues to function on current macOS releases via Rosetta 2, giving you time to plan or investigate alternative slicing tools with confirmed native Apple Silicon support.
