| Software notes | The machine is highly versatile when it comes to slicing software. It natively supports Creality's own HALOT BOX, which is continuously updated for optimized performance with their integral light sources. Additionally, it is fully compatible with popular third-party slicers like Lychee Slicer and CHITUBOX, giving users the flexibility to stick with their preferred workflow without restrictions. The printer also integrates with the Creality Cloud App via its built-in Wi-Fi connection, enabling remote monitoring, wireless file transfer, over-the-air firmware upgrades, and the ability to start or stop prints directly from a smartphone. | The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market, offering maximum freedom in the workflow. Fully supported by CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, it reads the proprietary .CTB and .PRZ formats. Thanks to continuous updates of resin profiles, users can quickly import optimal printing parameters. File management and job initiation occur primarily through the local touchscreen interface and loading via USB drive, maintaining an offline and secure operational setup suitable for production environments. |
