Mastercam is a CAD/CAM program for Microsoft Windows. Developed by CNC Software, LLC, the program is indeed focused on creating CNC-compatible designs. It can be used to program most kinds of CNC machines, including mills, lathes, routers, mill-turn machines, wire-cut EDM machines, and others. It supports up to five axis of control for milling, turning, and mill-turn operations, which should cover even the most complex designs. When it comes to wire-cut EDM technology, Mastercam gives its users precise control over wire motion and its angle, and supports 2 and 4 axis wirepaths. It also has a variety of add-ons, which provide improved functionality for certain niche cases: for example, there is an addon that optimizes drilling routines. All things considered, Mastercam is an indispensable program for every factory. It is available only on Microsoft Windows, however, employees that prefer using Macs can also be accommodated. Certain third-party solutions are needed to accomplish that, however. The article below contains a brief overview of methods that can be used to run Mastercam on Mac.

How to play Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising on Mac
Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is a fighting game developed and published by Cygames, a Japanese game development studio. The game is well-balanced and generally easy to learn, but the developers added several interesting mechanics to spice things up. Certainly, you’ll need to time your hits and score combos, but you also need to manage your bravery points, use ultimate skills, perform “raging strikes”, and so on. Fans of the original Granblue Fantasy game will appreciate Rising‘s extensive story mode, while those who are more gameplay-oriented will be happy to explore its massive character roster. There’s even a obstacle course minigame, if you want to take a break from the fighting. The game has quite a lot to offer, and can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone; even if you cannot afford the game, you can play the free version. Of course, all of this means little if your computer can’t run the game in the first place. But even though Rising doesn’t have a macOS version, there are several ways to play Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising on Mac unofficially. You can learn more by reading the guide below.

House Flipper 2 is a building simulator developed by Frozen District. It is a sequel to the original House Flipper, and follows the same formula. Your goal is to purchase houses, repair and renovate them, and then sell the result for a handy profit. The process is rather relaxing, for the most part. Expect to do a lot of cleaning, painting, and furnishing. You might also have to demolish some walls, or construct new ones. All of these features were in the original game, but House Flipper 2 also adds some new ones. For example, you now can build a house entirely from scratch, adjust height of the walls, and play user-created missions. The graphics received an upgrade as well; unfortunately, there are also several features that are missing. Before-and-after shots, a satisfying part of the first game, are nowhere to be found. Mac support was dropped as well; unlike the first game, House Flipper 2 doesn’t have a native Mac version. Thankfully, it is possible to get around this inconvenience. There are several unofficial ways to play House Flipper 2 on Mac, and you can learn about them by reading the article below.

DirectX is a multimedia API developed by Microsoft for their operating system, Windows. In simpler terms, DirectX is a technology that makes it easier for the developers to create games with complex 3D graphics (among other things). Generally speaking, newer versions of DirectX are better than older ones in every aspect; they offer better performance and make games look prettier. So it should come as no surprise that many video game developers are ditching support for DirectX 11 in favor of DirectX 12. However, this development was problematic for one small section of the gaming world: Mac gamers.

Netflix is the most popular paid streaming service, with more than 200 million subscribers worldwide. This is not particularly surprising; if you watch movies regularly, it makes far more sense to pay a small subscription fee for access to a library of movies than to buy each one individually. And Netflix has a very impressive library; there are thousands of movies and episodic shows available on the platform. Some of them, the so-called Netflix Originals, are exclusive to the platform. Examples include Stranger Things, Wednesday, and Arcane – chances are, you already know about these shows! So, all things considered, Netflix is a very useful service; but how precisely does it work? Is it possible to run Netflix on Mac? Read the article below for a detailed answer.

Torchlight: Infinite is a top-down dungeon crawler developed and published by XD Incorporated, a Chinese company. The game – and indeed the Torchlight series as a whole – might remind you of Diablo. However, this is not a clone; Torchlight: Infinite differentiates itself by being easier and more casual. You will not need complex strategies or lightning-fast reflexes to play this game. Instead, you will be able to simply turn your brain off and relax, dispatching countless enemies with relative ease. It is quite a satisfying process, but some might find it too easy. But the developers know about this; there are plenty of dungeons and boss fights that present an actual challenge, as well as many ways to improve and optimize your build. But to maintain the casual nature of the game, these activities are largely optional. All things considered, Torchlight: Infinite can be quite fun to play as long as you come in with proper expectations. And since this game is completely free, there’s little reason not to give it a try. Regrettably, it doesn’t have a Mac version, but there are multiple unofficial ways to play Torchlight: Infinite on Mac. The guide below covers the best available methods.

Paint.NET is a raster graphics editor developed by dotPDN, LLC. Although not the most powerful editor out there, Paint.NET still has the most important features; it does not aim to compete with Photoshop, but rather with simple editors like MS Paint.

The functionality can be further extended with plugins; for example, you can add support for more file types or new effects. Although Paint.NET is free, it is not open-source; additionally, the program is available only for Microsoft Windows.

Microsoft Visio is a vector graphics editor specifically designed to visualize data.

It is not limited to pure data either; floor plans and electrical diagrams are also supported. Visio can integrate with other Microsoft products, like Power BI, Power Automate, Teams, and Microsoft Office suite. For example, it can automatically import data from an Excel spreadsheet, validate the data based on user-defined rules, create a diagram and export it to Power BI. But you don’t have to use other Microsoft software to take advantage of Visio; it uses VSDX file format, which is supported by many other programs, and can also export diagrams to SVG.
