| 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. | The system offers dual software compatibility that expands operational possibilities for both beginners and advanced users. The proprietary application, xTool Creative Space, is available for free across multiple platforms and natively manages the machine's advanced features, such as three-dimensional surface mapping and sensor-based positioning, making the workflow smooth and immediate. For more complex workflows, the machine fully supports LightBurn, the industry standard for laser engraving and cutting. This flexibility allows users to choose between a guided, simplified interface and a professional design environment, although certain manufacturer-specific calibrations may require the proprietary software for optimal configuration. |
