| 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 offers broad compatibility with leading third-party slicing software options, notably popular solutions like Chitubox, Lychee Slicer, and Voxeldance Tango. This software flexibility prevents users from being locked into a restrictive, closed proprietary ecosystem, allowing them to utilize advanced support generation and model orientation algorithms. File transfer is handled entirely offline via a standard USB port, a design choice that prioritizes connection stability during data transmission but lacks native Wi-Fi connectivity or cloud-based management features. Material profiles are easily accessible and customizable, significantly streamlining the fine-tuning of exposure times for a wide variety of commercial 405nm photopolymer resins available on the market. |
