| Software notes | Natively compatible with QIDI Studio, a slicing software based on PrusaSlicer and Orca Slicer, which ensures an efficient workflow for multi-color management. It also supports other third-party slicers, providing users with excellent flexibility. Built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity facilitate remote job submission and monitoring. | The official software is Snapmaker Luban, which integrates the tools needed to manage 3D printing, laser, and CNC operations into a single interface. It supports the direct import of common standard formats (STL, OBJ, SVG, DXF). The machine features Wi-Fi and USB connectivity, allowing for practical job dispatch. As an open system, 3D printing is also compatible with third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer, while for the laser module, it is possible to generate G-code with dedicated software and then export the file for offline execution. |
