| Software notes | The system offers extended compatibility with the industry's leading standard software, ensuring operational flexibility across both Windows and macOS platforms. It fully supports LightBurn, the preferred choice for professional users seeking advanced management of layers, cutting parameters, and vectorization, as well as LaserGRBL, an open-source alternative ideal for simpler and more immediate engraving operations. Additionally, the machine is compatible with the manufacturer's proprietary mobile application, enabling remote control and file transmission via local Wi-Fi. This triple option allows users to adapt their workflow to specific project needs, supporting common vector and raster file formats such as NC, DXF, BMP, and JPG. | The machine is fully compatible with the main control software on the market, including LightBurn (paid, for advanced users) and LaserGRBL (free, available only for Windows). Connection to the computer is traditionally established via a USB cable, ensuring stability during operations. No internet connection or cloud platform is required to operate the machine, ensuring total control over your files and privacy during use. |
