| Software notes | Machine management is handled by the proprietary HALOT BOX software, developed to optimize curing parameters and advanced support generation. The printer also features seamless, native compatibility with widely used third-party solutions such as CHITUBOX and Tango, ensuring maximum flexibility in the digital workflow. Thanks to integrated network connectivity via Wi-Fi and Ethernet, users can monitor progress and manage files remotely using the proprietary cloud platform. However, this ecosystem remains entirely optional, allowing for full offline operation via standard USB flash drives. | Print process management is handled by PreForm, a highly optimized proprietary software that automates model orientation, support generation, and slicing using advanced algorithms. PreForm offers an intuitive interface and diagnostic tools that minimize print failures. Although it is not possible to use third-party open-source slicers due to the closed nature of the ecosystem, the native integration ensures perfect calibration with original materials. The software includes network file transmission capabilities and is tightly connected to the Dashboard cloud platform, which enables remote monitoring of printers and resin consumption, without being strictly mandatory for the machine's core offline operation. |
