| Software notes | The system utilizes an open software ecosystem, ensuring compatibility with the main slicing programs on the market, including ChituBox and Voxeldance Tango. The machine integrates built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for the remote transfer of print files via the official application or compatible software, eliminating the need to use physical USB drives for every operation. The internal firmware is based on an optimized version of Linux, which improves the responsiveness of the user interface on the built-in touch screen display and optimizes the handling of complex data originating from 9K files. Exposure parameters and resin profiles can be managed directly from the chosen software, offering precise control over curing times and axis movement speeds. | Machine control and management rely on a flexible and modern software ecosystem. The device natively supports leading industry slicing programs, including ChituBox and Voxeldance Tango, ensuring extensive customization of printing parameters. Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity allows for remote monitoring and file transmission via cloud functionalities or cluster management, streamlining the workflow in multi-unit laboratory environments. The proprietary firmware handles real-time error notifications, such as resin shortage or residues in the vat, interfacing directly with the touchscreen display to guide the user through operational troubleshooting independently and safely. |
