| Software notes | 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. | The system supports file formats generated by major third-party slicing software, including ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, ensuring operational flexibility for users with established workflows. Connectivity is comprehensive, featuring Ethernet cable options, Wi-Fi connection, and a USB port for offline file transfer. The internal firmware efficiently manages calibration and function control via the integrated touchscreen interface. Despite the availability of the Phrozen GO mobile application for remote progress monitoring, the machine operates entirely autonomously and does not require a constant internet connection or reliance on proprietary cloud services to execute and complete daily print operations. |
