| 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 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. |
