| 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 device natively supports the proprietary ChituBox preparation software and is fully compatible with popular third-party slicers in the industry. File management and remote monitoring are handled via the desktop application connected to the local Wi-Fi network. Advanced functions of the integrated camera enable automatic time-lapse video generation and anomaly identification during the placement of initial layers. File transfer is not bound to mandatory proprietary remote servers, ensuring operational continuity offline via the USB port. |
