CURA on MacOS: M1 optimized coming?

Posted · CURA on MacOS: M1 optimized coming?

Hi everybody. 

 

I recently made a CURA slicing test on all my different machines I got: 

-Windows 10 PC which is my strongest machine

-Apple MacBook Pro 2020 with M1 chip

-IMac form 2017 with Windows in Dual-boot

 

My testing shows that CURA isn't optimized for the M1 chip yet (judging by the results).

 

Is this something for the future?

Judging by other speed tests I did the slicing speed on optimized M1 software should beat most other windows Pc's...

 

Cheers!

    Don't expect too much or not in the near future, because Cura depends on Qt.

    But yes, I also have a Macbook with M1 and I really like it, but haven't tried Cura yet on this machine. For my 3D printing tasks, I still use my iMac.
