| 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 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. |
