| Software notes | Print process management is handled by PreForm, a highly optimized proprietary software that automates model orientation, support generation, and slicing using advanced algorithms. PreForm offers an intuitive interface and diagnostic tools that minimize print failures. Although it is not possible to use third-party open-source slicers due to the closed nature of the ecosystem, the native integration ensures perfect calibration with original materials. The software includes network file transmission capabilities and is tightly connected to the Dashboard cloud platform, which enables remote monitoring of printers and resin consumption, without being strictly mandatory for the machine's core offline operation. | 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. |
