| 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 management is handled by the proprietary PreForm software, a well-proven tool that automatically optimizes model orientation, support generation, and build area layout. PreForm integrates natively with popular medical and dental CAD workflows, supporting standard formats such as STL and OBJ. The system offers advanced algorithms to calculate specific print parameters for each Formlabs resin. Connectivity is comprehensive, featuring options via USB, Ethernet, and local Wi-Fi. Although the Dashboard cloud platform is available for remote production monitoring and fleet management, the printer remains fully operational offline, ensuring the security of sensitive data within clinical environments. |
