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 printing process is managed by the proprietary PreForm software, a closed application that automatically optimizes model orientation, support generation, and production time calculations. This software environment is designed to ensure a highly streamlined and standardized workflow, ideal for professional contexts where result predictability is crucial. PreForm integrates seamlessly with the manufacturer's ecosystem, receiving continuous updates that introduce new profiles for proprietary resins. The machine also offers optional access to Fleet Control and the cloud-based Dashboard platform, which are advanced tools that allow users to monitor print queues, manage multiple units in parallel, and track material consumption in real time remotely.
