| 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. | The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market, offering maximum freedom in the workflow. Fully supported by CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, it reads the proprietary .CTB and .PRZ formats. Thanks to continuous updates of resin profiles, users can quickly import optimal printing parameters. File management and job initiation occur primarily through the local touchscreen interface and loading via USB drive, maintaining an offline and secure operational setup suitable for production environments. |
