Software notes The software ecosystem relies on the proprietary HALOT BOX application, developed to optimize model layout and automatic support generation. The user interface simplifies the processing of complex files and supports network connectivity via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi, enabling remote monitoring and machine control. In addition to the official software, the printer guarantees native compatibility with widely used third-party slicers such as CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, giving advanced users the necessary flexibility to customize exposure parameters and printing profiles for specialty resins. Machine control and management rely on a flexible and modern software ecosystem. The device natively supports leading industry slicing programs, including ChituBox and Voxeldance Tango, ensuring extensive customization of printing parameters. Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity allows for remote monitoring and file transmission via cloud functionalities or cluster management, streamlining the workflow in multi-unit laboratory environments. The proprietary firmware handles real-time error notifications, such as resin shortage or residues in the vat, interfacing directly with the touchscreen display to guide the user through operational troubleshooting independently and safely.
