| Software notes | The device is compatible with major slicing software options on the market, including the proprietary Creality HALOT BOX suite, CHITUBOX, and Lychee Slicer. File preparation is primarily handled via a local computer for export to a USB flash drive. The integrated wireless connectivity allows for basic remote management and monitoring through the Creality Cloud application, yet the machine remains fully operational offline using the built-in touch screen interface, ensuring flexibility even without internet access. | 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. |
