| Software notes | 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. | The device operates primarily through third-party slicing software widely adopted within the maker community, such as ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer, ensuring high flexibility in file preparation. Integration with these programs allows granular control over exposure parameters, support generation, and lift times. The machine features no integrated wireless connectivity or reliance on cloud platforms, requiring completed print files to be transferred exclusively via a removable USB flash drive. This configuration guarantees complete offline operational autonomy and mitigates the risk of interruptions caused by network issues or forced remote software updates. |
