| Software notes | The system uses Duet firmware, offering a web-based control interface (Duet Web Control) accessible from any Wi-Fi-connected device. The machine does not require specific proprietary control software, but standard G-code-compatible slicing software is required to generate toolpaths. | The machine uses Simplify3D as its official, licensed slicer, whose workflow is optimized to handle the specific parameters of fluid-dense materials via the screw extruder. The system supports remote management via the network and monitoring via a TFT touchscreen interface, with control logic that allows for the configuration of variable retractions and flows, critical when working with ceramics, porcelain, or geopolymers. |
