| 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. | Device control is primarily managed through the proprietary xTool Creative Space software, an intuitive and constantly updated application ideal for managing graphic workflows and calibrating cutting and engraving parameters. For users requiring professional features or established workflows, the machine guarantees compatibility with LightBurn, the industry standard. The software integration allows for surface mapping and automatic positioning without the need for traditional cameras, simplifying file preparation in both Windows and macOS environments via USB or Wi-Fi connections. |
