Minimum PC Requirements*
macOS: CPU: M1 Pro/Max/Ultra, RAM ≥ 16 GB; Windows: CPU: Intel i7 13th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7 5800, RAM ≥ 16 GB, GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (8 GB); Note: ① If you're unsure about the CPU configuration, please ensure that the CPU has cores≥8, threads≥16, and a base frequency ≥2.4GHz. ② Only in Laser Line Scanning modes, a dedicated graphics card is required for acceleration. AMD and MAC GPUs do not currently support acceleration.
macOS: CPU: M2 Pro, RAM ≥ 16GB; Windows: CPU: Intel i7 13th Gen or AMD Ryzen 7 5800, RAM ≥ 32GB, GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (8GB); Note: ① If you're unsure about the CPU configuration, please ensure that the CPU has cores≥8, threads≥16, and a base frequency ≥2.4GHz.② Only in Laser Line Scanning modes, a dedicated graphics card is required for acceleration.
