| Software notes | The machine is primarily managed via HALOT BOX, the proprietary slicer developed by Creality, designed with a straightforward interface to ease the learning curve. Widely used third-party programs such as Lychee Slicer and ChiTuBox are also supported, ensuring considerable flexibility in model preparation. Furthermore, the integrated motherboard with a Wi-Fi module allows for interfacing with Creality Cloud for remote monitoring and Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates, reducing dependence on USB drives for daily operations. | 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. |
