| 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 printer is fully compatible with leading resin slicing software, including Chitubox and Lychee Slicer, ensuring flexibility in model preparation. A key advantage is its seamless integration with the Phrozen GO mobile app, which allows for 24/7 monitoring and remote management of the printing process. Firmware updates may be required to unlock certain advanced features, such as time-lapse photography in synergy with specific software versions of Chitubox. |
