Steps to reproduce the issue

I installed Miniforge first and then Open3D, TensorFlow and PyTorch

conda create --name vision3d python=3.9
conda activate vision3d

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install open3d

pip install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu

conda install -c apple tensorflow-deps==2.6.0
pip install tensorflow-macos==2.6.0
pip install tensorflow-metal==0.1.2

Later I cloned Open3D-ML by:

git clone https://github.com/isl-org/Open3D-ML.git
cd Open3D-ML

Then, I set OPEN3D_ML_ROOT with:

source set_open3d_ml_root.sh

Error message

python -c "import open3d.ml.torch as ml3d"

Open3D, Python and System information

- Operating system: (e.g. OSX 12.5)
- Python version: (e.g. Python 3.9.13)
- Open3D version: (0.15.1)
- System type: (apple-silicon)
- Is this remote workstation?: no
- How did you install Open3D?: (e.g. pip)
- Compiler version (if built from source): (e.g. gcc 13, clang 13) -- Not built from source

Did you solve this issue? I have the same problem on Mac.

[shayannikoohemat]

It looks like Open3d-Ml v0.15.1 needs pytorch==1.12.0 but pip install torch on Mac M1 installs pytorch 1.13, this is why we get this error: Exception: Open3D was not built with TensorFlow support!

See the requirements-torch.txt, the torch for Darwin platform:

--extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/
torch==1.12.0+cpu ; sys_platform != 'darwin'
torchvision==0.13.0+cpu ; sys_platform != 'darwin'
torch==1.12.0 ; sys_platform == 'darwin'
torchvision==0.13.0 ; sys_platform == 'darwin'
tensorboard

So the only solution is building both pytorch=0.12 and open3d=0.15 from the source or waiting for a newer version of open3d.

Open3D v0.17 is built with PyTorch and tensorflow support for Apple Silicon.
