| 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. | Machine operation is managed through the proprietary xTool Creative Space (also known as xTool Studio) software, developed by the manufacturer and fully compatible with both Windows and macOS operating systems. The user interface is designed to facilitate project preparation and the configuration of cutting and engraving parameters. The system supports importing files in the most common vector and raster formats, including SVG, DXF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, and BMP. The physical connection between the computer and the engraver is established via a USB port, with the option to utilize a wireless Wi-Fi connection. For this specific model, the manufacturer currently does not declare any native compatibility with third-party laser control software such as LightBurn or RDWorks. |
