| 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 supported by major slicing software on the market, including optimized profiles for CHITUBOX and VoxelDance Tango, ensuring broad operational flexibility. The system relies entirely on USB connection for file transfer and offline printing, eliminating any dependency on cloud services. The onboard interface is managed via a practical 3.5-inch resistive touchscreen that allows users to start prints, monitor basic parameters, and utilize automated diagnostic features, such as the initial self-check of mechanics and sensors. |
