| 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 machine adopts an open approach and is fully compatible with the most popular third-party slicers on the market, including ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, offering maximum flexibility to expert users. This choice allows professionals to easily integrate the new hardware into established workflows without having to adapt to closed or restrictive proprietary software ecosystems. The absence of a forced cloud dependency also ensures full control over print files and the ability to operate offline in environments where data security and confidentiality, especially for industrial models or patents, are an absolute priority. |
