| 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 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. |
