| 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. | Workflow management relies on a proprietary software ecosystem developed to optimize model preparation and machine control. The slicing software performs advanced calculations for automatic part orientation and optimized support generation, minimizing material consumption and facilitating post-print removal. Integration with remote monitoring platforms allows users to supervise job progress, residual resin levels, and hardware diagnostics via local networks or dedicated tools. Regular firmware updates ensure continuous refinement of printing parameters for the various supported materials, ensuring maximum compatibility and operational stability throughout the device's entire lifecycle. |
