| 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 32-bit motherboard is fully compatible with LightBurn (including M8 air control) and LaserGRBL. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity and offline printing via SD card. |
