| 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 machine adopts an open approach and is fully compatible with the most popular third-party slicers on the market, including ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, offering maximum flexibility to expert users. This choice allows professionals to easily integrate the new hardware into established workflows without having to adapt to closed or restrictive proprietary software ecosystems. The absence of a forced cloud dependency also ensures full control over print files and the ability to operate offline in environments where data security and confidentiality, especially for industrial models or patents, are an absolute priority. |
