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 machine adopts an open approach and is fully compatible with the most popular third-party slicers on the market, including ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, offering maximum flexibility to expert users. This choice allows professionals to easily integrate the new hardware into established workflows without having to adapt to closed or restrictive proprietary software ecosystems. The absence of a forced cloud dependency also ensures full control over print files and the ability to operate offline in environments where data security and confidentiality, especially for industrial models or patents, are an absolute priority.
