| 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. | Print process management is handled by PreForm, a highly optimized proprietary software that automates model orientation, support generation, and slicing using advanced algorithms. PreForm offers an intuitive interface and diagnostic tools that minimize print failures. Although it is not possible to use third-party open-source slicers due to the closed nature of the ecosystem, the native integration ensures perfect calibration with original materials. The software includes network file transmission capabilities and is tightly connected to the Dashboard cloud platform, which enables remote monitoring of printers and resin consumption, without being strictly mandatory for the machine's core offline operation. |
