| 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. | Machine control is flexible thanks to multi-platform support. The manufacturer provides the proprietary xTool Creative Space (XCS) software, which is free and intuitive, suitable for beginners and available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, operating completely offline via USB connection or TF card. For advanced users requiring professional nesting, layer management, and path optimization features, the engraver guarantees full compatibility with LightBurn. The optimized firmware architecture allows for a smooth transition between both applications, supporting the import of standard vector and raster formats such as SVG, DXF, BMP, and JPG, without any dependence on external cloud services for daily operation. |
