| Software notes | The machine is compatible with major slicing software on the market, offering maximum freedom in the workflow. Fully supported by CHITUBOX and Lychee Slicer, it reads the proprietary .CTB and .PRZ formats. Thanks to continuous updates of resin profiles, users can quickly import optimal printing parameters. File management and job initiation occur primarily through the local touchscreen interface and loading via USB drive, maintaining an offline and secure operational setup suitable for production environments. | The device ensures broad compatibility with the main third-party slicing software programs available on the market, including widely used solutions such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer. File management is primarily handled via offline transfer using the USB port located on the front of the chassis, or by utilizing the wired Ethernet network connection for remote monitoring within a local network. There are no restrictions or dependencies on proprietary cloud platforms, allowing users to work in complete autonomy and protect the intellectual property of their print files without requiring an active internet connection during the manufacturing process. |
