| Software notes | Printer control is managed by PreForm, Formlabs' proprietary print preparation software. This application automatically optimizes model orientation, support generation, and layout arrangement, integrating specific algorithms to maximize the yield of medical resins. The system supports standard file formats such as STL and OBJ. Through the Dashboard cloud platform, users can monitor print status, track material consumption, and manage job queues remotely for entire fleets of machines. Although network connectivity (Wi-Fi and Ethernet) facilitates advanced management, the printer retains the ability to operate in local mode via data transfer via USB. | 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. |
