Software notes The operational management of the printer relies on a flexible software ecosystem compatible with the main file preparation programs available on the market. Users can utilize both the proprietary application developed by the manufacturer and widespread third-party solutions such as Chitubox or Lychee Slicer, benefiting from preconfigured profiles for optimizing exposure times. Network features allow file transfer and progress monitoring via Wi-Fi or local Ethernet connection. Although network-based remote capabilities are available, the device maintains complete operational independence from the cloud, allowing total workflow management in local mode to protect the confidentiality of technical data. 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.
