| Software notes | The device supports major third-party slicing software widely utilized in the industry, such as ChiTuBox and Voxeldance Tango, providing users with extensive flexibility during file preparation. Through these programs, exposure parameters, support generation, and lifting speeds can be granularly managed, optimizing the printing process based on the specific resins deployed. Processed files are transferred to the machine primarily via the USB interface located on the chassis side, ensuring standalone operation independent of a computer and removing the need for a constant network connection. The absence of a native Wi-Fi module or dedicated cloud integration excludes remote management or camera monitoring, focusing the user experience on a stable, local, and time-tested workflow. | The device offers flexible connectivity manageable via integrated wireless network or standard USB port, facilitating the transfer of print files without physical proximity constraints. It natively supports the main formats generated by the most popular slicing software in the resin 3D printing landscape, such as CHITUBOX and Voxeldance Tango, ensuring full compatibility and flexibility in the digital workflow. The proprietary firmware ensures smooth management of settings directly from the touch screen interface integrated on the machine. Since no mandatory dependencies on closed cloud platforms are found, the user maintains total control over their files and local print preparation, guaranteeing maximum data privacy and operational continuity even without an internet connection. |
