| Software notes | The system supports standard file formats derived from the main slicing software on the market, offering full compatibility with Anycubic Photon Workshop. The native application provides advanced tools for optimal model orientation, automatic or manual generation of complex supports, and geometric resin compensation to prevent shrinkage issues. Although the printer includes network connectivity features for optional remote monitoring of the work cycle and file transfer via local network, all fundamental configuration and printing operations remain fully accessible offline via the integrated touch screen and USB input. | The system supports file formats generated by the most popular third-party print preparation software, such as ChiTuBox and LycheeSlicer, ensuring operational flexibility and a consolidated workflow. The manufacturer also provides Anycubic Photon Workshop, the proprietary application optimized to fine-tune exposure parameters, manage advanced supports, and fully exploit the screen's pixel density without slowing down layer calculation. |
The differences that matter
