Software notes The machine uses Duet firmware, accessible via the Duet Web Control protocol in a browser, eliminating the need for installable proprietary control software. For generating G-code files, the manufacturer recommends Simplify3D, although the system is compatible with any slicer capable of exporting code compatible with RepRap/Duet-based architectures. The interface allows for real-time adjustment of extrusion speed and print parameters, essential for managing the variable rheology of pastes and cements. The system uses the Duet Web Control firmware, which allows for complete management via a web interface on any Wi-Fi-connected device, without requiring dedicated control software installed locally. For toolpath generation (slicing), the manufacturer recommends using Simplify3D, although the machine is compatible with any software capable of exporting G-code files. The architecture is open to the integration of auxiliary systems for material flow management via standard protocols.
