| Software notes | Compatible with LightBurn (open GRBL protocol), LaserGRBL, AtomStack Studio, and AtomStack APP. Dual USB and 2.4G Wi-Fi connectivity allows for control from PC (Windows, macOS) and mobile devices (Android, iOS). LightBurn requires a separate license, while LaserGRBL is free. GRBL support provides flexibility for advanced workflows without the constraints of proprietary ecosystems. | Control of the device relies exclusively on the proprietary xTool Creative Space (XCS) software. This application is designed to be intuitive and accessible for beginners, integrating features for managing the internal 16-megapixel camera, visual project alignment, and automatic focusing. Unlike many other commercial laser systems, this model does not natively support LightBurn or open-source GRBL-based firmware. Consequently, advanced users accustomed to complex workflows might find the software somewhat restrictive when handling intricate vector files or deep engraving parameters that require highly customized optimization. |
