Maple Toolbox
Maple Toolbox integrates Maple with MATLAB so you can use Maple commands, symbolic math, and plots from within MATLAB workflows.
What is Maple Toolbox?
Maple Toolbox is a math and engineering integration tool that connects Maple and MATLAB on macOS and other desktop platforms. It lets users access Maple commands, variables, and functions while working in MATLAB, making it useful for symbolic computation, exact arithmetic, and engineering or technical analysis workflows. Common use cases include solving calculus and linear algebra problems, performing symbolic manipulation, and generating mathematical results without relying only on numeric approximations. The toolbox also supports creating plots through Maple and rendering them in MATLAB, which helps when combining symbolic work with existing MATLAB projects. Students, researchers, educators, and engineers typically use Maple Toolbox when they want Maple’s symbolic capabilities inside a MATLAB-based workflow. It is published by Maplesoft as part of the Maple ecosystem rather than as a general-purpose standalone Mac utility.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Maple Toolbox is legitimate Maplesoft software intended to integrate Maple with MATLAB. Its behavior is consistent with that purpose, but the bundle ID com.installbuilder.appinstaller is generic installer metadata rather than a product-specific identifier. Before trusting a copy, confirm it came from a Maplesoft installer or an existing Maple installation and that it matches the version of Maple and MATLAB you use.
Recommendation: Keep Maple Toolbox if you use Maple together with MATLAB for symbolic math or technical computing. If you do not use that integration, removing it is usually reasonable and mainly affects Maple-in-MATLAB features rather than your broader system.
