| Software notes | Workflow control is managed by Anycubic Photon Workshop, a proprietary software optimized for advanced exposure parameters and support management. The machine also ensures complete operational flexibility through compatibility with leading third-party slicing programs, such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi modules and USB ports for flexible file transfer, supporting remote project uploads via the dedicated mobile application for constant progress monitoring. | The machine is primarily managed via HALOT BOX, the proprietary slicer developed by Creality, designed with a straightforward interface to ease the learning curve. Widely used third-party programs such as Lychee Slicer and ChiTuBox are also supported, ensuring considerable flexibility in model preparation. Furthermore, the integrated motherboard with a Wi-Fi module allows for interfacing with Creality Cloud for remote monitoring and Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates, reducing dependence on USB drives for daily operations. |
