| Software notes | The system supports the proprietary HALOT BOX ecosystem, developed to optimize digital model transition and support generation. The electronic architecture is fully compatible with widely distributed third-party formats and programs such as CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, ensuring workflow flexibility. Connectivity features file transfer via an integrated USB port and remote management through wireless networks, relying on the mobile application for progress monitoring without binding the user to exclusive cloud infrastructure dependencies. | The system utilizes an open software ecosystem, ensuring compatibility with the main slicing programs on the market, including ChituBox and Voxeldance Tango. The machine integrates built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for the remote transfer of print files via the official application or compatible software, eliminating the need to use physical USB drives for every operation. The internal firmware is based on an optimized version of Linux, which improves the responsiveness of the user interface on the built-in touch screen display and optimizes the handling of complex data originating from 9K files. Exposure parameters and resin profiles can be managed directly from the chosen software, offering precise control over curing times and axis movement speeds. |
