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 device offers flexible connectivity manageable via integrated wireless network or standard USB port, facilitating the transfer of print files without physical proximity constraints. It natively supports the main formats generated by the most popular slicing software in the resin 3D printing landscape, such as CHITUBOX and Voxeldance Tango, ensuring full compatibility and flexibility in the digital workflow. The proprietary firmware ensures smooth management of settings directly from the touch screen interface integrated on the machine. Since no mandatory dependencies on closed cloud platforms are found, the user maintains total control over their files and local print preparation, guaranteeing maximum data privacy and operational continuity even without an internet connection.
