| Software notes | Natively managed via Creality Print, it features AI capabilities for first-layer monitoring and print failure detection. It offers comprehensive connectivity via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB, supporting remote control and the Creality Cloud ecosystem. | The machine comes with the proprietary Qidi Print software, a slicer based on proven open-source architectures, specifically optimized for the profiles of the technical materials supported by the printer. Users can still generate G-code using other widely adopted third-party slicers on the market, such as Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, or Simplify3D, after manual configuration of machine and extruder parameters. Although it lacks native cloud features or advanced remote connectivity for corporate fleet management, it supports direct file transfer via local Wi-Fi or USB drives, ensuring a secure offline workflow for intellectual property protection. |
