| Software notes | File management and print preparation rely primarily on Anycubic Photon Workshop, which integrates optimized profiles to take advantage of the machine's reduced exposure times. The ecosystem supports network connectivity via Wi-Fi and allows remote monitoring and control through the Anycubic Cloud mobile application. While offering advanced cloud features for print queue management and firmware updates, the printer maintains full local offline operational capability. Compatibility with major third-party slicers such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer is guaranteed upon manual configuration of the parameters. | The system supports file formats generated by the most popular third-party print preparation software, such as ChiTuBox and LycheeSlicer, ensuring operational flexibility and a consolidated workflow. The manufacturer also provides Anycubic Photon Workshop, the proprietary application optimized to fine-tune exposure parameters, manage advanced supports, and fully exploit the screen's pixel density without slowing down layer calculation. |
