| 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 offers broad compatibility with leading third-party slicing software options, notably popular solutions like Chitubox, Lychee Slicer, and Voxeldance Tango. This software flexibility prevents users from being locked into a restrictive, closed proprietary ecosystem, allowing them to utilize advanced support generation and model orientation algorithms. File transfer is handled entirely offline via a standard USB port, a design choice that prioritizes connection stability during data transmission but lacks native Wi-Fi connectivity or cloud-based management features. Material profiles are easily accessible and customizable, significantly streamlining the fine-tuning of exposure times for a wide variety of commercial 405nm photopolymer resins available on the market. |
