| Software notes | The device is fully compatible with the main third-party slicing software options on the market, including widely popular solutions such as Chitubox and Lychee Slicer, alongside the proprietary Anycubic Photon Workshop application. This flexibility allows users to manage advanced exposure parameters, supports, and tolerance compensation without proprietary constraints. File preparation occurs primarily via offline transfer using a USB port, ensuring a stable workflow independent of active network connections. Managing print profiles for various commercial resins is highly intuitive, facilitating the optimization of layer-by-layer curing times for both standard materials and advanced formulations. | The system supports the proprietary HALOT BOX ecosystem, developed to optimize digital model transition and support generation. The electronic architecture is fully compatible with widely distributed third-party formats and programs such as CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, ensuring workflow flexibility. Connectivity features file transfer via an integrated USB port and remote management through wireless networks, relying on the mobile application for progress monitoring without binding the user to exclusive cloud infrastructure dependencies. |
