General information
- The Artec Studio software does not support Mac OS.
- The most popular approach is to run Artec Studio on Windows via BootCamp. In this scenario, all algorithms of Artec Studio, including 3D-capture with both the Artec Eva and Artec [Space] Spider will work as intended.
- Artec Studio does not work on a virtual OS inside Mac OS (e.g. through Parallels, VM Wareб Фьфящт etc). On a virtual machine, the graphics card performance is very limited and therefore many functions/algorithms will not perform as intended.
Configuration
We have tested several hardware configurations of MacBook Pro 15'' laptops.
The following hardware suits our minimum requirements and provides a good performance overall:
- MacBook Pro 15-inch (2018)
Processor: 2,9 GHz Intel Core i9
RAM: 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
Graphics card: Radeon Pro 560D 4096 MB
Older models with the following configurations also offer adequate performance:
- Processor: Intel i7-4960HQ @ 2.60 GHz
- RAM: 16 Gb (enough for Eva, might not be enough for Spider; of course it depends on the scanned data size)
- Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M or AMD Radeon R9 M370X
