Laserbox basic
Laserbox Basic is a control and design application for laser-cutting and engraving machines, allowing users to prepare artwork, adjust laser parameters, and manage cuts and engravings on compatible hardware. It is intended for makers, small businesses, and hobbyists using laser-cutter equipment. The app serves as the primary interface between design software and laser hardware, handling file preparation, material settings, and job execution.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find information about whether Laserbox Basic has been updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. The Electron-based architecture (indicated by the bundle ID prefix com.electron) suggests the app should be relatively straightforward to port to Apple Silicon, but this is not guaranteed — many Electron apps remain Intel-only. Contact the Laserbox developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), it is important to confirm the app's roadmap sooner rather than later. If a native build is not forthcoming, you may need to migrate to an alternative laser-cutter control application or plan to replace your hardware with newer equipment that ships with native macOS software.
