Software notes The system is fully compatible with LightBurn, the industry-standard software for advanced vector preparation and control, and AtomStack Studio, the manufacturer's proprietary solution. It also features a built-in touchscreen for offline control, allowing complex jobs to be started without the need for a constantly connected computer. The operational management of the engraver is guaranteed by full compatibility with the most popular software in the industry, making workflow integration highly flexible. Users can utilize LightBurn, an advanced commercial program that has become the gold standard for those requiring complex editing tools and granular control over cutting parameters. Alternatively, the motherboard natively supports LaserGRBL, a free and open-source software solution, particularly suitable for beginners due to its intuitive interface. The connection between the computer and the machine occurs physically via a standard USB cable, ensuring stable and low-latency data transfer, without any need for an internet connection or reliance on cloud-based platforms.
