| Software notes | The system natively supports files generated by the most widespread industrial and commercial slicing applications, such as ChituBox and Voxeldance Tango. Built-in networking features allow for remote monitoring and file transfers via integrated Wi-Fi or a dedicated Ethernet interface, simplifying deployment within connected digital manufacturing pipelines. Firmware updates are regularly released by the manufacturer via downloadable files for USB installation, ensuring continuous optimization of curing algorithms and broad compatibility with newly developed photosensitive polymer resins. | The device supports the leading slicing programs on the market, including Chitubox and Voxeldance Tango, ensuring high flexibility in print file preparation. Integration with these software tools allows optimal management of resin exposure parameters, support generation, and production time optimization. Since there is no mandatory dependence on proprietary cloud platforms, users retain full local control over their workflows via USB file transfer. This feature ensures maximum project confidentiality and operational continuity even without a stable internet connection, making file management simple, secure, and immediate for any level of experience. |
