| Software notes | The control of the machine is fully compatible with the industry standard LightBurn, ensuring users have access to advanced tools for design, layer management, and vector path optimization directly via USB connection. The proprietary software provided by the manufacturer is also supported, making it ideal for quick engraving and marking operations or for users who prefer a more streamlined interface. The absence of constraints related to cloud architectures ensures full hardware operability even in offline environments, protecting the confidentiality of work files and ensuring the tool's longevity is not dependent on external remote server support. | The AtomStack Swift supports the most widely used laser control software, including LaserGRBL (free, Windows only) and LightBurn (paid, compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux). It connects via USB or Wi-Fi, providing excellent flexibility for sending g-code files directly to the machine. |
