| 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 machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market, particularly CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, natively supporting .CTB and .PRZ formats. It features 8 GB of internal memory and supports file transfer via USB port and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing a versatile workflow without the requirement to rely on cloud platforms. Direct interaction with the printer is handled via a 5-inch touchscreen that provides a simple and responsive interface for operational control. |
