| 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. | Control is managed exclusively via xTool Creative Space (XCS), the proprietary software compatible with major desktop and mobile operating systems. XCS handles the multi-tool ecosystem, allowing seamless switching from laser cutting setup to blade cutting or inkjet printing within the same project. The software supports standard vector and raster file formats and includes automatic path optimization tools. Due to the complex multi-tool architecture, the system does not offer native compatibility with industry-standard software like LightBurn, binding the user to the manufacturer's official interface, which receives regular updates. |
