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 system integrates seamlessly with the leading third-party slicing software available on the market, offering substantial operational flexibility. Users can utilize popular solutions such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, which feature pre-configured and optimized profiles for this specific model, simplifying file preparation and advanced support management. Connectivity occurs primarily via a USB port for offline file transfer, ensuring total stability during the printing process without the risk of interruptions caused by network fluctuations. Exposure parameters are fully customizable directly within the software, allowing for precise optimization across a wide range of both proprietary and third-party resins.
