| 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. | The machine is supported by major slicing software on the market, including optimized profiles for CHITUBOX and VoxelDance Tango, ensuring broad operational flexibility. The system relies entirely on USB connection for file transfer and offline printing, eliminating any dependency on cloud services. The onboard interface is managed via a practical 3.5-inch resistive touchscreen that allows users to start prints, monitor basic parameters, and utilize automated diagnostic features, such as the initial self-check of mechanics and sensors. |
