Digitizer
Digitizer is a 3D scanning and point-cloud processing app for macOS, developed by MakerBot. It captures physical objects using compatible depth-sensing hardware or photogrammetry techniques, converting the captured data into 3D point clouds or meshes that can be edited, cleaned up, and exported for 3D printing or further design work in CAD software. It is used by makers, product designers, and 3D printing professionals who need to digitise physical objects or refine scanned geometry.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about Digitizer's Apple Silicon support status or its active development status. Given that this is a specialised 3D scanning tool from MakerBot, we recommend you contact MakerBot directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build of Digitizer is available or planned, since the Intel-only build will stop launching entirely on macOS 28 (September 2028) when Apple removes Rosetta 2 support. You should ask the vendor specifically: (1) whether a native build exists today, (2) if not, when one is planned, and (3) what alternative tools they recommend if Digitizer is no longer being actively developed. In the meantime, test whether your current copy still launches and functions normally on your Mac — if it does, you have time to plan your migration path before the 2028 deadline.
