| 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 natively compatible with major resin slicers, including Chitubox and Lychee Slicer, ensuring a well-established and versatile workflow. It features Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, supporting remote management via the proprietary Phrozen GO app, which allows users to monitor print status in real-time and receive notifications. It also supports local file transfer via USB port, offering operational flexibility without a network connection. |
