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 system utilizes an open software ecosystem, ensuring compatibility with the main slicing programs on the market, including ChituBox and Voxeldance Tango. The machine integrates built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for the remote transfer of print files via the official application or compatible software, eliminating the need to use physical USB drives for every operation. The internal firmware is based on an optimized version of Linux, which improves the responsiveness of the user interface on the built-in touch screen display and optimizes the handling of complex data originating from 9K files. Exposure parameters and resin profiles can be managed directly from the chosen software, offering precise control over curing times and axis movement speeds.
