| Software notes | The machine comes with the proprietary Qidi Print software, a slicer based on proven open-source architectures, specifically optimized for the profiles of the technical materials supported by the printer. Users can still generate G-code using other widely adopted third-party slicers on the market, such as Ultimaker Cura, PrusaSlicer, or Simplify3D, after manual configuration of machine and extruder parameters. Although it lacks native cloud features or advanced remote connectivity for corporate fleet management, it supports direct file transfer via local Wi-Fi or USB drives, ensuring a secure offline workflow for intellectual property protection. | The machine is primarily managed via Snapmaker Luban, a free proprietary software integrating file preparation for 3D printing, laser engraving, and CNC milling into a single environment. While intuitive for beginners, experienced users may find limitations in advanced settings. However, the system accepts G-code files generated by third-party slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer for 3D printing, and software like LightBurn or Fusion 360 for laser and CNC work, ensuring excellent operational versatility. |
