| 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 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. |
