Software notes Machine control and management rely on a flexible and modern software ecosystem. The device natively supports leading industry slicing programs, including ChituBox and Voxeldance Tango, ensuring extensive customization of printing parameters. Integrated Wi-Fi connectivity allows for remote monitoring and file transmission via cloud functionalities or cluster management, streamlining the workflow in multi-unit laboratory environments. The proprietary firmware handles real-time error notifications, such as resin shortage or residues in the vat, interfacing directly with the touchscreen display to guide the user through operational troubleshooting independently and safely. The device natively supports the proprietary ChituBox preparation software and is fully compatible with popular third-party slicers in the industry. File management and remote monitoring are handled via the desktop application connected to the local Wi-Fi network. Advanced functions of the integrated camera enable automatic time-lapse video generation and anomaly identification during the placement of initial layers. File transfer is not bound to mandatory proprietary remote servers, ensuring operational continuity offline via the USB port.
