| 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 ensures broad compatibility with the main third-party slicing software programs available on the market, including widely used solutions such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer. File management is primarily handled via offline transfer using the USB port located on the front of the chassis, or by utilizing the wired Ethernet network connection for remote monitoring within a local network. There are no restrictions or dependencies on proprietary cloud platforms, allowing users to work in complete autonomy and protect the intellectual property of their print files without requiring an active internet connection during the manufacturing process. |
