| 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. | Printer control is managed by PreForm, Formlabs' proprietary print preparation software. This application automatically optimizes model orientation, support generation, and layout arrangement, integrating specific algorithms to maximize the yield of medical resins. The system supports standard file formats such as STL and OBJ. Through the Dashboard cloud platform, users can monitor print status, track material consumption, and manage job queues remotely for entire fleets of machines. Although network connectivity (Wi-Fi and Ethernet) facilitates advanced management, the printer retains the ability to operate in local mode via data transfer via USB. |
