| Software notes | The system natively supports ChituBox proprietary slicing software, widely adopted in the resin printing industry, ensuring smooth management of supports and exposure parameters. The machine integrates Wi-Fi connection modules that enable remote management and workflow monitoring. Compatibility with open formats ensures operational flexibility with leading third-party programs, allowing users to optimize printing profiles based on the specific resins used, whether standard or engineering-grade. | The system supports file formats generated by major third-party slicing software, including ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, ensuring operational flexibility for users with established workflows. Connectivity is comprehensive, featuring Ethernet cable options, Wi-Fi connection, and a USB port for offline file transfer. The internal firmware efficiently manages calibration and function control via the integrated touchscreen interface. Despite the availability of the Phrozen GO mobile application for remote progress monitoring, the machine operates entirely autonomously and does not require a constant internet connection or reliance on proprietary cloud services to execute and complete daily print operations. |
