| Software notes | The operation of the machine is primarily managed via third-party slicing software widely utilized within the resin 3D printing industry. The system natively supports file formats generated by programs such as ChiTuBox and Voxeldance Tango, offering the user the flexibility to choose their preferred interface for model preparation, support generation, and exposure parameter optimization. There is no native Wi-Fi connectivity or dedicated cloud management in this standard version; therefore, the transfer of print-ready files occurs traditionally via a USB port located on the machine body, ensuring a stable, independent, and completely offline workflow. | 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. |
