| Software notes | This printer natively interfaces with the proprietary Halot Box software, developed by the manufacturer to offer a simplified workflow optimized for the machine's architecture. The system includes built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing print files to be sent directly via the local network or through the manufacturer's mobile app for remote control. Experienced users can still use major third-party slicing software, such as Lychee Slicer or Chitubox, exporting the files in the compatible format required by the machine. The printer's internal operating system is based on an ARM Cortex-A53 architecture, which easily handles complex files and ensures a fluid user interface through the generous color touchscreen. | 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. |
