123D Make
123D Make is a 3D design and fabrication tool from Autodesk that simplifies complex 3D models into printable, laser-cuttable or CNC-machineble flat patterns. It is aimed at makers, educators, product designers and hobbyists who want to take digital 3D models and convert them into physical objects using accessible fabrication techniques like paper folding, lamination, or sheet-material cutting. The app handles model slicing, generates assembly instructions and is part of Autodesk's broader digital design ecosystem.

1 suggestionLittle public information is available about the current status of 123D Make. Based on the bundle ID (com.autodesk.mas.123dmake), the app was distributed via the Mac App Store. Autodesk's 123D product line was largely retired or consolidated several years ago, with many tools shifted to cloud-based or subscription models. To determine whether a native Apple Silicon build is available or planned, contact Autodesk support directly or check the Mac App Store for the app — if it appears there with a recent update date, an update may provide the native build. Given that Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), you should verify the app's status soon. If Autodesk has discontinued support for 123D Make, consider alternatives like Fusion 360 (Autodesk's modern free CAD/fabrication tool, which runs natively on Apple Silicon) or other open-source design software such as FreeCAD or Blender.
