| 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. | The device supports the leading slicing programs on the market, including Chitubox and Voxeldance Tango, ensuring high flexibility in print file preparation. Integration with these software tools allows optimal management of resin exposure parameters, support generation, and production time optimization. Since there is no mandatory dependence on proprietary cloud platforms, users retain full local control over their workflows via USB file transfer. This feature ensures maximum project confidentiality and operational continuity even without a stable internet connection, making file management simple, secure, and immediate for any level of experience. |
