Makivo on Mac: the AI copilot plans a layered Sanford Stadium wall plaque while the 3D model, sized 8 by 14 inches, shows on the canvas

Supplied Makivo demo. Interface subject to change; not evidence of a released or physically validated workflow.

The Precision Path · planned workflow

One flow, start to finish.

Idea → Design → Edit → Prepare → Preview → Manufacture. Each operation requires verification before release.

01

Design

Sketch, import and shape 2D and 3D parts with tools that feel native on Mac and iPad.

02

Program

Turn designs into toolpaths with AI assistance that explains every choice it suggests.

03

Make

Preview, verify and export your job — from idea to finished part, with fewer surprises.

Made for Mac. Made for iPad.

Two native apps are in development for CAD/CAM workflows — keyboard and trackpad precision on Mac, Apple Pencil and touch on iPad. Not an iPhone app, and not a web wrapper.

macOS

Planned: direct notarized download and Mac App Store.

iPadOS

Planned: distribution through the App Store.

Demo: the same plaque project on iPad next to the machine. Concept render.

AI that helps — and shows its work.

AI-assisted design, toolpaths and strategy explanations are planned. The supplied demo shows the intended experience, not proof of released generation or safe machining settings.
