| Software notes | 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. | The machine offers broad compatibility with leading third-party slicing software options, notably popular solutions like Chitubox, Lychee Slicer, and Voxeldance Tango. This software flexibility prevents users from being locked into a restrictive, closed proprietary ecosystem, allowing them to utilize advanced support generation and model orientation algorithms. File transfer is handled entirely offline via a standard USB port, a design choice that prioritizes connection stability during data transmission but lacks native Wi-Fi connectivity or cloud-based management features. Material profiles are easily accessible and customizable, significantly streamlining the fine-tuning of exposure times for a wide variety of commercial 405nm photopolymer resins available on the market. |
