| 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 natively supports ChituBox proprietary slicing software, widely adopted in the resin printing industry, ensuring smooth management of supports and exposure parameters. The machine integrates Wi-Fi connection modules that enable remote management and workflow monitoring. Compatibility with open formats ensures operational flexibility with leading third-party programs, allowing users to optimize printing profiles based on the specific resins used, whether standard or engineering-grade. |
