| 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 machine is managed through dual software compatibility that expands the user's operational possibilities. The proprietary program, developed directly by the manufacturer, provides an accessible interface and simplified positioning functions via sensors, facilitating workflow management even for less experienced operators. For professional contexts or advanced customization needs, the unit fully supports LightBurn, the industry standard for laser cutting. This integration allows the management of detailed parameters, complex vectorization, and customized material libraries. The machine operates primarily in local mode via USB connection or Wi-Fi network, reducing dependency on external cloud services and ensuring operational continuity even in the absence of a stable internet connection. |
