Software notes The management of 3D models and print file preparation is supported by the main resin slicing software on the market, ensuring significant operational flexibility. Users can rely on widely used and appreciated solutions such as Chitubox and Lychee Slicer, which offer advanced tools for support generation and part orientation. Alternatively, the manufacturer provides the proprietary HALOT BOX software, specifically designed to integrate natively with the electronics and systems of this machine line. The motherboard is equipped with a built-in Wi-Fi module, enabling remote project submission and over-the-air firmware updates. Remote monitoring can be done via application, although the classic and stable file transfer via USB port remains fully supported. The device offers flexible connectivity manageable via integrated wireless network or standard USB port, facilitating the transfer of print files without physical proximity constraints. It natively supports the main formats generated by the most popular slicing software in the resin 3D printing landscape, such as CHITUBOX and Voxeldance Tango, ensuring full compatibility and flexibility in the digital workflow. The proprietary firmware ensures smooth management of settings directly from the touch screen interface integrated on the machine. Since no mandatory dependencies on closed cloud platforms are found, the user maintains total control over their files and local print preparation, guaranteeing maximum data privacy and operational continuity even without an internet connection.
