| Software notes | The printing process is managed by the proprietary PreForm software, a closed application that automatically optimizes model orientation, support generation, and production time calculations. This software environment is designed to ensure a highly streamlined and standardized workflow, ideal for professional contexts where result predictability is crucial. PreForm integrates seamlessly with the manufacturer's ecosystem, receiving continuous updates that introduce new profiles for proprietary resins. The machine also offers optional access to Fleet Control and the cloud-based Dashboard platform, which are advanced tools that allow users to monitor print queues, manage multiple units in parallel, and track material consumption in real time remotely. | The machine adopts an open approach and is fully compatible with the most popular third-party slicers on the market, including ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, offering maximum flexibility to expert users. This choice allows professionals to easily integrate the new hardware into established workflows without having to adapt to closed or restrictive proprietary software ecosystems. The absence of a forced cloud dependency also ensures full control over print files and the ability to operate offline in environments where data security and confidentiality, especially for industrial models or patents, are an absolute priority. |
